The savory part of
downtown San Pedro has been "redeveloped" (= "obliterated and replaced with boring stuff"), which sent me for a short random sightseeing drive on the Googlemobile through
uptown San Pedro. An old palm tree on Amar St. loomed, and I thought there might be something of interest on its lot:
gsv: 341 W. Amar, San Pedro.
No doubt this structure was a little more interesting once upon a time in its youth.
San Pedro's modest four-blocks-long Amar St. has, in its
LA Times appearances, an odd vibe: First of all, there's a sudden outcropping of eight marriage announcements between February, 1936, and June, 1937; and addresses 260 and 262 Amar St. were, in 1934 and 1937, the homes of persons arrested for perceived misdeeds related to Union activities. Structures on the north side of two of the blocks (including addresses 260 and 262) were removed to accommodate the looping exit from the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
