Fredric Brown Update

A few months ago I blogged about Fredric Brown's two early California residences. One, in El Segundo, is long gone. But the other, an address on a street in Venice that didn't seem to exist, left me stymied.

That is, until commenter "Used to Live in Venice" supplied this clue:

1309 Alexandria Way is now (probably) 1309 Palms Blvd.

Palms used to be called Alexandria, west of Centinela, back in the 1950s. Not sure why they renamed it. You can look it up in an old Thomas Bros Guide from the 50s, if you can find one.

I'm not sure when I'll be in Venice next, but I'll have to cruise by the address and see if anything's around. Thanks, Used to Live in Vence, whoever you may be!
