Wow !!! 12 yrs later im seeing this short doc just now . What an amazing woman she was especially considering she helped out alot of POC !!! History has been shared THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤

I worked at Griffith for 5 years, we need to talk...

What happened with this channel? It's defunct because it's been left behind. Perhaps the film maker, narrator died of covid.

It's gone now. I only have memories left of this place. I was lucky to have been able to step foot here.

Great video

My great grandpa had a TV repair shop across the street from the Ramona Theater in the late 50s to mid sixties called Ray's TV repair. I would do anything to find a photo of the shop or of him. All of our photos are gone. My great great grandma who was the wife of comic legend Luis Alberni had some bars in the area too, one was called the label inn.

This is excellent, was looking for info about this place! What a crazy history

Hard to believe that the Short Stop is still there after all these years. I worked at Metropolitan Water District of Southern California which was just up the street a few blocks away. I would go to the Short Stop after work with friends and co workers to play pool, pinball and have a couple of drinks before heading home. I always felt fairly safe there because of all of the cops that used to come in. In fact, I met my husband at the Short Stop some 30+ years ago. We have a lot of happy memories about the place.

I enjoy your videos dude

Interesting. I live in that area.

I used to live on Montrose just outside what used to be called Washington Heights

Any old guys remember "use a comb, go to heaven"?

So if you mention all the goings on at the S.S. how come you don't mention the way the bar is now, continue the expose...

Los Angeles has become a souless city with no respect of it's past as it's Leaders greedily squeeze the pennies out of the real estate.

I grew up a block away, on Marathon in one of the old houses there. I always was curious about this house. My family still lives in the home I grew up in. Echo park family since 1972

I still find it amazing how full of shit the city of Los Angeles is. Parking meters along a street where there is only cliffside.

Just because Mark Furman apparently sat at the bar frequently does NOT mean he tampered with evidence in the OJ trial. Anyone who actually followed that case knows that. Shame on the producers of this video for implying he was corrupt.

Amalia

any one know where his house was located & if it is still standing ??? ...

Thank you for this

Pizza Buona used to be called Pizza Bozza in the 70's. I had family that lived on Champlain Terrace and Rockwood Street.

I’ve walked down that street so many times, I can smell it by just watching this video. Sandstone is all over that place, I would always find some while digging holes the yard as a kid.

I would suggest The Cut is comprised of three cliffs, the third one a couple blocks to the west of the first two, rising up along the south side of Sunset between Benton Way and Occidental Blvd.

This has answered a lot of questions. I have been here since the mid 50s and often wondered what some of the architectural oddities were and what the history was.....Thank you.

I currently live in Washington Heights, NYC, but grew up a couple blocks away from this video’s subject in Echo Park. Crazy coincidence!

Great video!!!

Thank you! Living on Coronado north of Sunset for some time now and have been researching about the history of how Sunset was built.

Wow LA is such a dump

Fuhrman was never a captain. Check your facts.

Poor wife....jesus dealing with a closeted psycho pisstank.

Wow I live by here since I was a kid I love my neighborhood

I’ve been living around this neighborhood since I was kid it’s so amazing to learn about this! I hope to be a historian

quite a few shots of those houses in the 60's biker movie, cycle savages

That's my brother Bob Olivas leaving the comment below. I echo his comments. So cool to learn the history of that small piece of road and the intersection we we walked and drove through for so many years. Thank you!

Thank you for posting. It was/is a tremendous loss .... and so close to a busy freeway; proof that 'there's a sucker born every minute.'

I had a chance to visit that area 9 years ago and it was pretty neat standing in front of the original building that’s now used for storage. I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined I was back in time picturing all the activity that was going on. Like the silent actress Minta Durfee Arbuckle in the last years of her life said “The Keystone years were the most exciting and fun times!”

wow..she was gorgeous! And talented!

awesome video!

Now it's full of gay hipsters

The big question is: Did Charles Bukowski ever drink here?

Mostly B.S. about what went on there except Burris capping the robber.

Born across the Atlantic, in Wales about 5 miles from where I live, Griffith J. Griffith was bilingual speaking Welsh as well as English. He returned to his home village of Bettws, near Bridgend, Glamorgan, for a visit at one time. Cut quite a dash with all his wealth.

RIP HIT BARGAIN

update...many of the buildings on the south side of the street are being torn down for new "mixed used" places as the gentrification continues

So. California use to be a beautiful place of orchards, groves, and farms, now it's a place of over population and ugliness.

This is a great video. Thanks for the history!

I'm still trying to find the graphic crime scene photography.........WTH? Did I miss a dead bird in the road or something?

I lived on 2218 W. Elsinore St in the mid 1980's - 90's ... I remember these old homes and this side of Los Angeles.

Once again, what can I say! I grew up at 1135 N Coronado Terrace from 1961 to 1979. Just above Sunset Blvd and "the cut." So darn cool to learn the history of this small piece of road.

Wow, I grew up on Coronado Terrace, one street west of Waterloo Street and Washington Heights from 1961 to 1979. I know all of those buildings shown in your video. Especially the movie theatre! Great history lesson on the area. Thank you so much!
