The last few weeks of my summer vacation, my mom and I were in Hollywood. It occured to us that if we were to follow Highland and Western Blvds., we would arrive at Los Feliz Blvd., which would take us to Rowena. On Rowena, we would make a turn onto Waverly Drive, and see the LaBianca House. As we were driving along Los Feliz Blvd., we got a prime sighting of the Hollywood Sign. I almost dropped the map we were using because I have a specific song that I have to listen to when I see the sign. My mom said that I have a problem, because I have an obsession. I defended myself, saying that in a way, she has an issue cuz she seems to be obsessed with work. We sat in silence for a while, until we got to the necessary turnpoint. When we turned onto Waverly Drive, we began to drive up the street to our destination. Driving up the block to 3311, we got the chills, remembering how 40 years earlier, Charles Manson had walked the same way with his followers. It was a hot August day, and as I watched the houses and numbers pass, I began to get even more excited. When we finally arrived at the house, I couldn't do anything but stare, mouth agape. With the exception of adding another driveway, the house was still the same as it was in 1969. While we were sitting there, observing a piece of history, I got the chills again, as if there were spirits around us. We knew that it wasn't the atmosphere because it was in August. After we looked for a few minutes, we made our way back down the street as quickly as we could to shake the feelings of supernaturals. I like driving by there, and when we do, I smile because of the rich history behind it. Even though we've been by there many times, I still get the chills every time just thinking about the brutality inflicted on innocent people.
