IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD featured many places that I recall from my childhood that no longer exist. One came to mind just this morning when the news was covering the destruction of the Gerald Desmond Bridge. That bridge was built to replace the Pontoon Bridge, that was built around the time of WWII that got people out to the Navy Base and Terminal Island.
The Pontoon Bridge was quite the experience to drive on, as it floated on water. My mother hated it, so my experience was limited.
Many of the other locations are gone:
Police Station was the YMCA
Brownies Toys had Peter Falk's taxi parked out front
Imperial Hardware destroyed by Sid Caesar
Lincoln Statue was relocated but still exists
