In addition, anyone have any info on the Grande Courts? Google Earth shows
a modern high rise office building occupying the location. Again, any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the information on the apartments. Excellent photos, by the way!

Grande Courts, near Breckenridge Park, was a "Tourist Court" in the late '30's. Family members
lived there during WW2. Not surprising the area fell to the level you indicated by the '60's, less
surprising that development of a office high-rise took it's place

Thanks for the link. (These for-pay links are gonna' break me!)

The dive I mentioned (Rabbit Habit) changed the name to the Spunky Monkey in it's later years.

Grande Courts was very large.
