Here’s an interesting sales pitch: Move to Anaheim for the kids. Only 26.5 miles to downtown L.A. Note that the map says "Houston Freeway," which took its name from Houston Avenue and was renamed the Riverside Freeway.

    If that’s the neighborhood I’m thinking of, it looks like that house is still there… http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=pn74q3558sjr&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=6681411&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1
    However, that slick recreation area looks like it was sold off to some Vietnamese Church!…

    Funny how things change over time. Just a friendly reminder that all neighborhoods where shiny and brand-new at one time or another.
