1. Burbank Fire Station
2. Sepiated
flower
figure eight
walking/jogging trail.
You can see
3 dot-like figures.
They are actually humans
exercising on the trail
4. On ground-level,
adjacent to firehouse
and ≈1/4 mile long
is a very exclusive
apartment complex
called Magnolia Park
Many of its units
are controlled by film/TV studios
such as Warner Brothers/
Universal/Disney/NBC
The apartments become home to
unknown actors in new films/TV series
with the studios hoping
they are soon to be
household names.
In 1991, Jennifer Aniston
lived there.
Friends premiered
in 1994
5. THE MEMORY
I lived in a house
across the street
from Magnolia Park
and one extremely
fond memory from 1993
is my then-girlfriend's
two teenage daughters
walking the track with me.
We walked and talked
about this, that,
and the other thing.
Both girls were
as cute as a button,
making me feel like
the good "step-father."
The third time we walked
the track together, We were laughing
about their mother's spaghetti sauce
stain on her nose.
We had just completed a full lap
but suddenly the two girls
reversed direction
without my having
any idea why.
I was soon to learn otherwise.
The name, Slater,
meant not a thing to me
and Mario Lopez was
an Algebra student of mine.
Obviously this was not
the same person
but he had the same name.
This Mario Lopez was the star
of a show called
My girlfriend's daughters
walked behind the actor briefly
then introduced themselves
as great fans of the show
and him.
Mario, whose character was Slater,
graciously gave both girls
autographed pictures
and posters from the show.
That was the last time
the girls and I
walked together around
