Located on W. #Torrance Blvd, Alpine Village opened in October 1968 & hosted its first #Oktoberfest in September 1969. #AlpineVillage announcements from the Daily Breeze (October 1968):

Printed in the Daily Breeze (October 1968), this double-page newspaper ad invited folks to come visit Alpine Village, "the Little City from the Alps!" A couple of small sketches of buildings are included along with a menu and a map illustrating the future plans for Alpine Village.

This full page newspaper ad features a large black banner hanging from an ornate metal sign post. Printed on this banner are the words "We Invite You! Alpine Village" (in a very large white font with lots of serifs). "Grand Opening" tops the page. From the Daily Breeze (October 1968).
