“THE CARRY ON STORY” (7:19 min)

The Holiday Bowl was a gathering place for a community and a generation. Where all peoples came together in urban Los Angeles. Regardless of the tensions of the times they triumphed. Our hang out, bowling leagues, the famous coffee shop, cocktail bar, pool hall, arcade, our home away from home. The community celebrated its opening in 1958 until it closed in disbelief in 2000.

Japanese American Legacy On Wheels is dedicated to the passion and history of those that started it all. They helped drive the American muscle car era and the Japanese import tuner era to what it is today.

Carry On was a garage band in Los Angeles during the Asian American dance era 1965-1985. The era was a right of passage and undoubtedly the best times of our lives. Carry On was the most popular band of the era. They performed at hundreds of dances held at dance halls and ballrooms. This is their story.
