Germain 1913 Los Angeles California PDF Download

Excerpt from Los Angeles Today: April 1, 1913 County resorts on a Sunday or holiday, enjoying a dip in the surf, or gathering ocean treasures. Not only is the winter climate beyond all comparison with that of the eastern coast at the same time of year, but the summer is also far more pleasant. On the coast line there is never an oppressively warm day. The leading seaside resorts of Los Angeles are Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Venice, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Terminal Island and Catalina Island. Santa Monica, which is reached in less than an hour by two electric roads, is a well improved, progressive seaside city, with beautiful homes, fine beach and many attractions for sum mer visitors. Ocean Park, adjoining Santa Monica on the south, is built up with neat cottages for a couple of miles along the beach, with a cement walk four miles long and thirty feet wide. Still farther south, Venice, reached in about thirty minutes from Los Angeles, is a most unique and attractive resort. Redondo has a large hotel, a wharf from which fishing may be had, a swimming bath, and a pebble beach. North of Redondo are the new resorts of Hermosa and Man hattan, with a fine beach. San Pedro, now a part of the city of Los Angeles, is more of a shipping port than a seaside resort. The View from the high bluffs is very fine.
