good old Main Street, where the boxing gym was, just before 3rd Street crosses. Champions trained there, Lttle Red Lopez, Bobby Chacon, and lots of others. the first Rocky movie was filmed there, on the inside.
I have an historic picture of this street, showing the original city hall (same shape, but a lot smaller), with bustling pedestrian business and shopping people, buckboards and carriages with their horses pulled to the sides of the street, but the main means of transportation seemed in the middle of Main Street LA, a Trolley car and two duel tracks, allowing the electric passenger trains to pass each other going in opposite directions.
