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!

    wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that,

    Fantastic blog! Do you have any helpful hints for
    aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m
    a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a
    free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options
    out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Kudos!

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great images or videos to give your
    posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
    Very good blog!

    I hate the colour pink. Yet, when anyone buys or gives me clothes, pink invariably
    ends up integrated in there somewhere, presumably because they assume that because I’m biologically female, I must like pink.
    In my opinion, the person doing the buying hasn’t bothered
    to get to know my likes and dislikes as a person and, instead,
    is assuming that I have a preference for a
    certain colour because it is supposedly supposed to “represent” girls.

    cheap sex toys These thigh highs are absolutely beautiful!
    The packaging is a simple paperboard box with a picture of the stockings on the front.

    There is also a little cutout that shows the color of your thigh highs.

    sex Toys for couples “The actress responded to an open casting call,” Cruz spokesman Catherine Frazier told the New York Times.
    “She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the casting company. I just want your point of view on that. It’s been a while since I haven’t really spend quality time with my boyfriend. I do see him regularly but at school, on dates, things like that. sex Toys for couples

    dildos For anyone that wants to complain about the actions of the officer, stating that not enough is done to prevent other animal cruelties, such as the use of whale in lipstick, the use of fox fur in coats, the use if leather in duty belts, why not look at this a different way? this could be seen as a stepping stone for animal cruelty cases which i do not think have harsh enough punishments. I am sorry if mr. Woodson is a diagnosed schizophrenic, but this was a planned action, not a schizophrenic episode. dildos

    male sex toys This stretches easily right over your shaft. I put this on and instantly I was hard. I actually felt that I had gotten bigger even temporarily, especially my head. The plastic band has white lace with a black satin strip going horizontally. This wasn’t too uncomfortable for me. The head band stayed on pretty well. male sex toys

    sex Toys for couples It compares to about two fleshlights stacked side by side, not easy to hide at all and definitely not a travel toy. I will say that the way the inner belts hit each other and the RealTouch platform agent that allows for the toy to be modified to your liking this toy can be used for men of all sizes. The smallest penis to the largest will experience the same intensity. sex Toys for couples

    cheap sex toys I’m trying to build my confidence and push away all the non sense worries that I have about myself. And lastly I’m trying to figure out what (if we decided to date) he would expect from me. I talked about this with him and all I could get is “you have to tell me first because this is up to you” and I understand what he means by that. cheap sex toys

    anal sex toys Flip the cap open and you can just barely smell this watermelon flavored lube. There’s a hint of sweet, fruity freshness, but not much aroma unless you squeeze the bottle or apply a drop to the skin. Even then, the scent is subtle. I disagree that the decision to have sex should be based on whether or not the boy is it. That goes along with characterizations like it up. Sex should be mutually beneficial even for a girl, and even her first time. anal sex toys

    cheap sex toys Moved my underwear aside and suddenly put his member in its place. He sat up and put a condom on. It was shocking in a bad way and all I could do was lay there. My wife grabbed the cream and I applied a bead to each nipple and was a little more generous with the cream on her sugar bowl. We were already both pretty wild with excitement but I took my time caressing her nipples with my tongue and then worked my way down to her sweet spot and started with a thorough tongue lashing. In the spirit of the cream’s name, my wife started returning the favor on the other end. cheap sex toys

    sex Toys for couples For this reason, brothels or prostitution should not even exist. Yeah, it a person choice to take that risk or not. However, it just not right if taking that risk puts another person or persons at risk.. Don’t react when someone jiggles the door knob (hopefully it’s just a drill). Think about how you will get your 30 plus students out of the room if it’s not a drill. Think about how far four stories is and if a human could survive that drop sex Toys for couples.
