Zooming in on Echo Park: Early 1900s Los Angeles maps

Automobile Club of Southern California

It’s always interesting to find some historical pieces of Los Angeles on the big Internet, this one comes from Big Map Blog. It’s a 1915 road map of the entire Southern California area, commissioned by the Automobile Club of Southern California. And it’s a pretty big map – so we’ve zoomed in on the Echo Park area to show you our little area almost 100 years ago. Funny thing is, if you compare this map with a current-day Google map, it doesn’t look a whole lot different. But the landscape sure is: what was once a bunch of fields and open space now is one of the city’s most populated areas.

Another interesting map from the same blog – credited to Birdseye View Pub. Co.’s – of the Los Angeles area circa 1909. Incredible detail on this one – here’s the zoomed in version on Echo Park below:

Birdseye View Pub. Co.'s birdseye map of Los Angeles, California in 1909.

Both very, very large maps are made available for download on the Big Map Blog. See if you can find your house!

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad
    and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work
    due to no back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter
    a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let
    me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.

    “We should build to an alternative crescendo, cheri,” he said.
    “And we could have an ending that is to be as none before.”

    His smile was decadent, his eyes were filled with
    lust, as well as soft skin of his hard cock against my sex was having its
    intended effect. I was feeling a stronger arousal now as I felt his cock slide between my sensitive lips.
    I felt the actual top of his cock push agonizingly at the doorway
    of my pussy, and I want to him to thrust into
    me hard. Instead he pulled back and slid his hardness
    back nearly my clit.

    I had been aching to obtain him inside, and I can tell that his should push
    that wonderful hard cock inside me was growing. His moans grew
    to suit mine, and I knew the sensation of my wet pussy lips around the
    head of his cock was getting a lot for of us.

    “Allow the finale begin,” he stated, and hubby slid the top
    of his cock inside me.

    Both of us gasped as they held his cock there for just a moment.
    I contracted my pussy to pull him further inside, and then he threw his head back for the sensation. Inch by excruciating inch he pushed his cock inside me, each time I squeezed my pussy around him.
    His cock felt wonderful as it filled me, but I want to all this inside me.
    I rolled to the side and rested my leg against his shoulder,
    and that he plunged his cock all the way up in.
