This is the bluff overlooking the Cornfield and a good route into downtown
if the Pasadena Freeway is jammed.

I’ve been neglectful in posting Nuestro Pueblo — so many stories, only one Larry Harnisch. Here’s an interesting entry on a part of downtown Los Angeles that had vanished by 1939. Notice the story about police corruption continuing on Central Avenue. The Times rarely covered the African American community, so this story is particularly noteworthy.
