Since I lived in a house once owned by Bela Lugosi, I thought of making a video about him. The video could have included material about the 1931 movie Dracula, Maila Numri, Ed Wood, Plan 9 From Outer Space... But the idea never gained momentum.

At Rio Vista elementary school, in 1970, part of an episode of Adam-12 was filmed there. The episode was "Log 55 Missing Girl." It starred a 7 -year-old Jodie Foster.
Sally Baker of the Hobo Kelly show lived in a house on the east side Denny Ave., between Whipple St. and Valley Spring Lane. This was in the mid- to late 1960s. (It was one of three small houses mid-block. I can't remember which one, but I'm pretty sure it was either the most northerly one or the middle one.)
The Far East Terrace restaurant was located at 4223 Lankershim Blvd. They moved to this location from their original location, about a block to the north. I last ate there in 1984. Cliff Robertson was having dinner there that night, so my guess is that he lived in Toluca Lake. The restaurant does not exist anymore. To see it, go to:

Marie Callender's restaurant was located at 10050 W. Riverside Dr. Toluca Lake. The restaurant closed its doors on January 2, 2012. In its place now is Chase Bank. I remember going to dinner there in 1978. Larry Wilcox was picking up a to-go order, so I guess he lived nearby. I remember he wore Indian moccasins that came up to just below the knee. CHiPs ran for six seasons beginning in 1977. If I recall correctly, Larry Wilcox was supposed to be the star of the series, but Eric Estrada stole the show.
The International House of Pancakes was founded in 1958 by Jerry Lapin and his brother Al Lapin, Jr. The first restaurant opened on July 7, 1958, in Toluca Lake, California. The restaurant was right across from Bob's (across Rose St.) This restaurant closed in the 1990s. Here's a photo of the restaurant:

The Hot Dog Show was a restaurant in Toluca Lake, kitty-corner to Bob's big Boy. It opened in 1949 (the same years as Bob's), and closed in 2011. The Veggiegrill now occupies the site. Here are some photos of The Hot Dog Show:

Ernie's Taco House in North Hollywood opened on June 17, 1952. Other sources confirm this, including The Museum of the San Fernando Valley , but I've seen one reference to the restaurant opening in 1946. When Ernest U. Cruz purchased the property to open the North Hollywood Ernie's there was apparently a Mexican restaurant already there; see comments:

Love Is Blue was a song that became a number-one hit in the USA for five weeks in February and March 1968. But like Caste Your Fate To The Wind, I haven't heard this song once on the air in the past 50 years. Here is a link to the song performed on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1968. And although the music is appealing the performance has the worst choreography I have ever seen:
