Story & Photographs by Roger Rohrdanz

   To say the City of El Segundo hasn’t changed in the last 50 years would be a gross exaggeration.  This comfortable, quaint vintage town of 16,000+ looks much the same as it did years ago.  The high rise buildings are on the East side along Sepulveda, the West side is the Hyperian water treatment plant and the Pacific Ocean, to the North is L.A. Airport, and the Chevron refinery occupies the South side. Main Street downtown looks like a 60’s era movie set.

   On August 22 the 18^th annual Main Street Car Show was presented by the El Segundo Police Officers Association and was open to all makes & models of cars and trucks.  The weather was clear and warmed up about 10:00am, then the tree lined streets provided good shade.  The very unique event logo was produced by Troy Stephens III & “Boiling Point Creative Group” of El Segundo.  Local spectators come out with their kids and pets to enjoy the sights and sounds of this once a year event.  Main street shops were open, the car show included vendors showing their wares, raffles, a 50/50 drawing, live music by the Russell & Chuck project, great food was available along Main St.  If you haven’t seen this unique city, it is worth a visit.

Thanks for the Show!!
