History
Red Caboose
Do you know… There is a special and hidden place... The kind of place that some people are only fortunate enough to read about in fairy tales…Located in the 'Beach of the King' (Playa del Rey)… On the 'View of the Beach Lane' (Vista del Mar Lane)… At the singular viewpoint in all of Los Angeles where you can view Malibu, Palos Verdes and the Hollywood Sign from the same footprint... Where a young 'Smart' boy was raised... and nurtured… and grew to be a man… And there, our dearest trusted friend, stands the original Red Caboose- Be still…
