I don't know if anyone even looks at this post anymore but I just happened to think about this place today and wonder whatever happened to the Flying Jib. I now live in Arizona but do get back there once in awhile

Anyway, I used to go to the Flying Jib back when I was in my late teens. I moved to Redondo when I was 17 (in 1966). They had a lot of different types of bands at the Flying Jib. I remember going there with my girlfriends in 1967 and 1968. Because we were underage we had to have our hand stamped so they couldn't serve us alcohol. If you look in the picture you can see a small enclosed area. That was a place you could sit outside when it go too warm inside. I remember sitting there with a some friends and someone threw a cherry bomb over the fence into the crowd. I think that was the last time I went there. LOL.
