�Paradise Cove |
|
These pictures show Paradise Cove in Malibu (several miles north of the Malibu Pier).�� They have special significance to me because James Garner�s mobile home in The Rockford Files television series was situated just to the left of The Sandcastle restaurant (pictured above).� During the eleven years between when I graduated from CSULB (1974) and returned as a faculty member (1985), these scenes (and that show) were a constant reminder of what I was working toward.�� When I taught at Fort Hays State University in Kansas (1981-85) two very close friends of mine (two-thirds of the Philosophy Department) were also fans of the show.� When they moved to the Los Angeles area several years later we set out to find this location.� During the 1975-76 television season David Janssen�s beach house in the series Harry O was located to the right of The Sandcastle.� The Sandcastle is now under new ownership and called Paradise Cove Beach Cafe.� The website for the restaurant has some nice pictures of this area. |

These pictures show what use to be Alice�s Restaurant on the Malibu Pier.� Unfortunately storm damage forced both the restaurant and pier to close in 1995.� In 2008 the Malibu Pier reopened.� Today, The Beachcomber at Malibu Pier offers excellent dining in the same location as Alice�s Restaurant. |
