Todd & John's Tribute To
"The Old Neighborhood"
What Old Neighborhood? Simply the greatest
neighborhood in the world! The Arcadia/Temple City Area in the
San Gabriel Valley (The SGV) where we both grew up, located in Los Angeles County in beautiful Southern California.
This site is basically for us to enjoy, so we hope we don't bore
you with our nostalgic and sentimental values. That is, assuming anyone ever actually visits this site besides us! But who cares? The Old Neighborhood is simply the best! Many great memories, of which we share but a few at this site. So if you want to
wax nostalgic with us, enjoy your visit. The Old Neighborhood awaits...
"Such a nostalgia inevitably leads to the continual repetition of a limited number of gestures and patterns of behavior." - Mircea Eliade
Clearmans Galley (i.e. The Boat) serves the best food in the Old Neighborhood: http://clearmansgalley.com/
Most of our favorite toys as kids were made by Mego, and this site has them all: http://www.megomuseum.com/
A great site for old baseball stats, including those of some old-school favorites like the '79 Pirates and the '81 Dodgers!: http://www.baseball-reference.com//

Kings Fight for the Cup!!! 
The Los Angeles Kings are just one series win away from the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals! Despite beating the top seeded Vancouver Canucks in the first round and the Number 2 seeded St. Louis Blues in the second round, a tough series awaits in the Western Conference Finals against the Phoenix Coyotes. If the Kings can win this series, it will be their second Stanley Cup appearance, which happened way back in 1993! John and Todd are long time Kings fans, so another shot at the Stanley Cup Finals is great news! Cheers to the Kings from the Old Neighborhood! Go Kings!!!
