very interesting....thanks
Earl.
We've seen many photographs of Chavez Ravine on NLA, but I don't believe we've seen this intriguing photograph.
If you look at it closely you notice a police car parked on the closest horizontal street, another on the next horizontal street, a third on the far-right edge of of the image
and a fourth police car up the road a bit on the far left. The large trucks say Republic Van Lines on their sides. People are being moved out to make way for the Dodgers,
who picked up this prime piece of real estate for a song. The LAPD is on the scene to make sure there's no trouble.

"This is a photo from the Los Angeles Herald Examiner's photo morgue. It was shot in the late 1950s, as residents of Chavez Ravine were forced to sell their property
in the face of prices that got lower every day (the gambit was calculated to force homeowners to panic and sell fast, which many did)."
