You know your from BHILLS when u remember Morley’s drugstore. The Daisy (disco) and Jack Hansen holding “court” @ lunchtime on the patio. MFK Coffee Shop was open 24 hours. Not getting pulled over by BH finest at 4 am stoned or not… When Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty could walk up Rodeo drive with no paparazzo! When a tan was from your pool and not a machine. When life was gentler, relaxed and more fun.
