The reflection in the window looks like an early 1950's Buick (we used to have one). http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psd2869a54.jpg This is a 1952: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...pse3eeee12.jpg http://s129.photobucket.com/user/fhi...eee12.jpg.html Maybe the Out of Bounds list extended into the post-war years. Also, the other photos posted by ER seem to have early to mid-1950's autos in them. |

I think you're right. Does anyone know if Out of Bounds and Off Limits restrictions were re-instituted during the Korean War? |

I wonder if the place still exists. I like to visit off-limits places...one might meet interesting people there. Anyone want to go with me? :cheers::cool::cheers: Listed in Martin Turnbull's blog: ''Maxwell’s – aka M Cocktail Lounge – 214 W.3rd St (1950s era) By the late 1950s, despite continuing hostility and harassment of the LAPD, a number of gay establishments had sprung up: the House of Ivy, the Cherokee House, Maxwell’s, The Black Cat, the “356” bar downtown. Most gay bars had existed outside Los Angeles city limits where county sheriffs were traditionally far more tolerant.'' |

Queasy......
Not sure I want to live in one of these homes...
In the '94 quake, which was pretty severe, only one of these hillside homes came down, and the city had already warned the occupants that the house was unsafe. It was scheduled to be torn down. Sadly, the occupants, a young real estate agent and his girlfriend, were both killed when the house collapsed down the hillside. They were in bed when the quake began..:uhh::???::uhh::???: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps4482f2a9.jpg UPI photo file |
:previous: Those hillside homes on stilts are truly frightening CBD.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...znerTract1.jpg www.historicmapworks.com The street layout to the west of the rail tracks is still recognizable on this 1948 aerial, even though there have been several changes. Probably the biggest changes are removal of most of the industry (the Oil Well Supply Co and the Kerckhoff Cuzner lumber mill), and the appearance of the Terminal Annex building. Rosabelle, Elizabeth and Augusta Streets are still visible, but Date Street has been severly truncated. Access to the area is now from Alameda via Bauchet Street, which previously only went east from Date Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...znerTract2.jpg Historic Aerials Just four years later, and all the housing has gone. The old streets can still be seen, but they just have parking lots between them. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...znerTract3.jpg Historic Aerials Looking at the current view, Bauchet Street has been slightly realigned to meet the intersection of Alameda and Main Streets. Rosabell and Augusta Streets still exist, although pretty much in name only. All other traces of residential streets and houses have gone. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...znerTract4.jpg Google Maps I haven't come across many references to this area. The clipping below is from the October 2, 1905 edition of the Los Angeles Herald, and gives notice of sewer construction around Augusta Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...staStSewer.jpg California Digital Newspaper Collection Slightly off the original topic, but USC have this picture described as the "Oldest date palm in the city of Los Angeles on Date Street, ca.1888". Given the age, I'd guess we're talking about the same Date Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StreetTree.jpg USC Digital Library |

Out of Bounds
I have been experimenting with Google Maps, with mediocre results.
http://i.imgur.com/1pMSiSc.jpg The push pins indicate out-of-bounds venues in 1945 according to the Department of the Navy. I think there may be a way to embed this map; that way when you hover over the push pin, you get the place's address. -- . Re: the series of Red Car photos e_r posted rang a bell. Didn't the thread have a video of the Red Car's last run through Watts to Long Beach? I remember the oversaturated reds and blues were similar to the photos. The 1956 CD has Luie's Garage at 10614 S Graham. |
Sailors and Marines...stay out of these ''joy joints''
Quote:
LOS ANGELES..January 1945 (UP) — Skidrow "joy joints'" were really put on the skids last week as the shore patrol hung more than 54 "Out of Bounds" signs in an attempt to bring a halt to crimes, diseases and other conditions affecting the health and welfare of Navy personnel. According to Comdr. C. H. Fogg, head of the Los Angeles shore patrol, over 700 crimes involving money and property of sailors and Marines and amounting to over $40,000 have occurred during the last several months. "We are taking this measure as a security precaution as well," Fogg said. "An intoxicated man off a combat vessel or just returned from overseas may reveal information and is a danger to his shipmates." |

Hey HossC: Any chance this is the date tree? I may be on the wrong street (as usual). http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps8f0a1da5.jpg http://ctr.trains.com/~/media/Files/...930s%20BEV.pdf Again, thanks for the great research. |
