Anyone know about this photo?
Looks to maybe be in the Bay area.

Sorry, don't know about the photo, but I was going to guess from the building that is visible through the fog that the photo was taken at Pepperdine in Malibu. To be fair, I probably left SoCal around the time the photo was taken (judging from the clothes!) Maybe one of the locals can deny/confirm?
If there was a coupe gathering then surely Murray was there! Does look like Pepperdine too.

I'm told that the image was part of the 1988 Malibu Coupe Tour. (The t-shirt says: Malibu Coupe Tour '88) So, yes the background is Pepperdine. Can't confirm whether the BluMax was in attendance.
