Slowly fading with the city�s ever-changing landscape; the places and people of Burbank�s past tell a vibrant story. Before the arrival of Warner Bros. and Walt Disney; First National Pictures built its original studio lot on Olive Avenue in 1926. For over sixty years; Lockheed Aircraft Company produced some of the nation�s best airplanes where the massive Empire Shopping Center now stands. Heavyweight champion James Jeffries turned his Burbank ranch home and barn into a beloved landmark and boxing venue. And inventor Joseph Wesley Fawkes�s scheme to build a monorail to Los Angeles became a local laughingstock. Die-hard Burbankers Wes Clark and Michael McDaniel collect these and many more forgotten local stories where they can finally be found.
