The summer of 1978 I was 16-17years old and traveled to SoCal for the summer where I stayed with relatives. In downtown LA, the gutters and sidewalk joints were full of particulate smog/soot. On a hike to Sturdivant Falls, I was overcome with a bronchitis attack, something I had never experienced. I thought it must be what a heart attack felt like. The air was dangerously bad.
