In the summer of 1972, 26-year-old San Fernando valley native Rick McCloskey was photographing life on SoCal’s Van Nuys Boulevard, looking on as the bright young things cruised in cars and hung out. “Every town in America had a strip where kids would take their cars and go hang out whether it was only a block long – big towns, little towns, cities. It was really a thing for everybody to be involved at some point,” says Rick … “ “The nights were long and beautiful. How do you beat it? Gee. I’m glad I was able to be part of that as a kid.” Fabulous Photographs of Cruising Van Nuys Boulevard In 1972: Rick McCloskey’s fabulous photographs of a vanished Californian youth culture -- source link
