That happened at the corner of York and Avenue 64. Some scumbag saw one of his rivals driving by and opened fire, missed his target and hit the girl riding with her dad while they were waiting at the stop light. I happened to drive by with the whole family in the car about 15 minutes after it went down. Freaked us out to think that had we been on the road earlier it could have been us.

Or even if you have thoughts about living in Highland Park- what the atmosphere is like, etc. The rental is super cheap for a 3BR/2BA house and that's why I'm wondering if something is up with the area...
Thanks to everyone out there for even reading this thread!

I can only assume you are looking in HP because of relative low prices.
3 BR condos range from about 2000-3000 a month.

If I were shopping, I might aim for Eagle Rock (right between fabulous Glendale and Pasadena) and pay 2350 for a house to rent.

What is your range?

I wish they grocery store on Monterey would open again, not a lot of other choices in the immediate area.

Did you live in the area when that market was King Food?
It has not been a successful market since King Food moved out.
I wish Super A would take it over.
It is a good location for a market, and the only reason no one has made a success of it since King Food is because each owner raises the prices on everything to where it made more sense to shop at Vons or Super A.
I heard talk a while back that Starbucks was going to be moving in to that shopping center,but then Cycleway coffee shop move in just up the street, and havn't heard any more about Starbucks moving in.
Bob.

I'm not sure what the last 2 markets have been, not King Food. Last one was doomed to fail with no liquor license and I think the one before had similar issues. With all of the apartments up the hill in Monterey Hills plus the back side of South Pas and El Sereno it seems like the shopping center is in a good location.

Sorry to get off topic.

Sorry, friend, but I'm not sure where you got your information on the Black Dahlia murder (not sure why you said "murders"), at least that of Elizabeth Short. Her torso was found in a vacant lot in Leimert Park:

Black Dahlia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The body of Elizabeth Short was found on January 15, 1947, in a vacant lot in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, severely mutilated, cut in two, and drained of blood. Her face was slashed from the corners of her mouth toward her ears, and she was posed with her hands over her head and her elbows bent at right angles.[1] The autopsy indicated she was 5′ 5″ and 115 pounds, with badly decayed teeth, light blue eyes and brown hair.[2]

I remember seeing books in the library about the Black Dahila....I will go check them out and see for myself.

By the way, I would not necessarily use Wikipedia as my sole source of information about anything. Perhaps we can start a new thread on this?

I highly recommend the 1947 project website, which deals with all matters of crime, off-beat newsclips over the years, and bizarro Los Angeles history. Some really interesting stuff there. Even took one of the 'crime bus' tours they recommended and had a pretty interesting time down Main Street, checking out various sites. Site also recommends some great noir films, and books about L.A. history.
