plumber2 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The most intriguing thing about that 1913 map is the G.H & S.A. Railroad that runs south on present day Montrose and crosses over to Almeda Rd. You would be hard pressed to find any sign of it today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entrance still resembles a loading dock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may explain why some of those streets around the "boy bars" are so convoluted as compared to the surrounding blocks. The tracks may have made their curve at this location.
