Special Preview
Hollywood Beach 1921-1922. Here is a very early view of Johnson Street, soon after it was rock-surfaced - the first road on Hollywood Beach. Young is likely the one in the center of the 4 hats down at the waterfront. Those autos are big expensive sedans. This is where Young would begin his Broadwalk.
Earlier, Where Some of Young's Inspiration Came From:
Long Beach Days: "Walk of a Thousand Lights" at Long Beach, CA.
Originally boards, converted to cement in 1906, while J. W. Young was living in Long Beach.
