When i was a kid, our parents would take us riding on the bike path that runs along the industrialized creek through the City of Industry. Along the way was a toilet factory and near the fence line, stuck in the dirt, were many porcelain balls of various sizes. We used to collect them.

I still have this one. I was looking at it today and trying to figure it exactly where we used to gather them. I called my mom and she told me some things she could remember that were clues.

Now i know where it was. It was the Norris Industries factory near Fairway Avenue and Valley Boulevard.

That lot was redeveloped around the year 2000. Still, i think i want to go over and snoop around to see if i can find any of these still stuck in the dirt.
