Today's image of Huntington Beach (probably around 1950) comes from an online slide show about California oil from the Washington Post.

There will be several events in conjunction with the “Ebb & Flow” exhibit on Huntington Beach history (Jan. 17 to Feb. 22) at the Huntington Beach Art Center.

I know it's a bit last-minute, but tonight is the election meeting for the Huntington Beach Historical Society. The meeting will begin at 7pm in the "barn" behind the Newland House Museum, 19820 Beach Blvd.
