Fourth of July 1989 had a lot of what you'd expect from a holiday weekend: backed up traffic, overflowing parking lots and beaches so crowded you could hardly see the sand. News 8's Chris Saunders headed to Mission Beach to see how people were celebrating their independence. Unfortunately, a few people lost that right and police were seen taking one man away as he shouted, "I'm not drunk in public." Saunders summed up the day as: "bronzed bodies, beer, bikes, and beach blanket bingo."
