Long Beach late 30's early 40's


This beautiful photograph is of Ocean Boulevard as you look towards Alamitos Ave, in approx the late 30's early 40's, around the time De lived here. The tall building is Villa Rivera, a condominium/apartment complex still standing today. Some of the apartments on the left of the photo are still standing--but most are gone. You can't park at a slant like that anymore (visible on the left of the photo). Ocean Blvd. is a much busier street these days. (Photo from Long Beach public library).

for some reason there is no "comment" link in the above post ..

I am old enough to have watched You Are There when it was on television!.. I honestly can't remember if I ever saw this one with De though I knew he did this. How great you came across it and shared it! Thank you!
