Here we are, back in Los Angelos with Steve from Mendocino. Seems like just yesterday that he was showing us photos of Paris! Growing up, we had an alley just like the one pictured below, and I just realized that I don’t have a picture of it. I may have to steal this one and pretend it’s my own.
We lived in the apartment above my parent’s local tavern, so we were in a business area a block from the train station – the houses with gardens and lawns were just one block down. The alley started just across the street from us and took us so many places – to school and church and shopping. We had our own name for it – wind canyon.
Thanks for indulging me in my trip down memory lane. Steve from Mendocino really needs to stop making me cry! And now, back to downtown Los Angles in the 60s. ~WaterGirl
Steve from Mendocino
It’s been since the mid-80’s since I last stepped foot in downtown Los Angeles, so I no longer have any idea what it looks like. These pictures were taken in 68 or 69, and were already rather quaint by the time I left my job as a programmer/analyst at Figueroa and 8th in the early 80’s.
