Steelflood Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 As someone new to researching Thompsons Doug Richardsons name comes up repeatedly. If you are interested, his website, blog, and other information is available. It's a little heartbreaking to read bit I found it invaluable from a historical perspective. https://web.archive.org/web/20180703153326/http://thompsonsmg.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjong-ni Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 He was a truly unique individual. It comes out through his words in the blog. Yup, he was just like that... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Mills Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Doug was fascinating and dedicated to a great craft. And buying 40 acres in Malibu? Brilliant. Fun to see his website and writings again. Thanks much for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benedw60 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Unfortunately California is crazy and after the wildfire devastated his property, they deemed it a super fund site and wanted a insane amount to dig up and remove the top 3 feet of soil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Unfortunately California is crazy and after the wildfire devastated his property, they deemed it a super fund site and wanted a insane amount to dig up and remove the top 3 feet of soil.I had wondered what happened with the property after the big fires. Strange stuff. A friend of mine got spared by like 2 blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjong-ni Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) "The Home of The Thompson". Doug said that he actually had his shop and built receivers here before moving to Chatsworth and eventually Central America. Malibu is a beautiful 8 miles of California beachline devastated by wildfires every year. In addition, there are no sewers, only septic draining to the ocean, limiting growth to one-acre-plus buildable lots for even the smallest of houses.Exactly what the residents want. Privacy. ...Phil 2100 McReynolds Rd, Malibu, CA 90265 | Trulia Edited September 9, 2022 by anjong-ni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
