There was a place in the hills near where I grew up that we'd ride our bikes to...we called it 'the tar pits'...cars sunk down to the door handles, freezers half way down, etc.
A few years later, we find out they renamed it to a SuperFund site called the McColl Dump Site (petroleum companies had dumped by products from making jet fuel there in the 40s/50s).
It was across the street from "Motorcycle Hill" that was, at that time, owned by Union 76, I think? An oil field, where everyone went to ride motorcycles (extra-legally)
Now, the tar pits/McColl dump site is called Ralph B Clark park: Orange County, California - Ralph B. Clark Regional Park
