By Simir Shah
California Historical Landmark No. 1041 at 3701 W. 119th St, dedicated in 2005, marking where the Wilson brothers' childhood home stood and where they recorded 'Surfin'' in 1961. The house itself was demolished in the 1980s for the Century Freeway. It's a ten-minute stop for music fans, so pair it with a park visit.
