Ah, the good old days! Fallbrook High alumni share more memories on Facebook of growing up in Fallbrook. Kids didn’t have cell phones (gasp!) but they still managed to entertain themselves. Here’s what they remember:
- Running Brooke Road for PE
- Raiding strawberry fields by the Airpark
- Drag races down Chicken Hill, Olive Hill, Gird Road
- Horseback riding to the Valley Fort, cooking your own steak and playing miniature golf
- Painting the water tower (FPUD now paints the tank itself)
- Floods in De Luz and using the chair to winch oneself across the swollen river
- Bowling at Duke Snyder lanes
- De Luz on inner tubes
- Homecoming Floats…Youth fair … Ag Department…4H…FFA
- You mention the Youth Fair and can think of only one word, Grandma Burchett’s Cookies
- Marty’s Gas Station would give out double bubble gum to the customers’ kids
- Sweeping the school parking lot after the Friday night football games
- Cruising the main street of downtown Fallbrook was a big thing on Friday night
- The roller rink was in the big tent, what fun that was
- The short lived El Dumpo Raceway
- Parties at the rock
- Summer dances were at the VFW Hall with live bands. Cost a quarter. (Inna godda davida)
