Notes, Commentary Text:
In 1900s, Rindge interests succeeded in closing down Santa Monica's booming saloon trade, in part by paying for the loss of business. Perhaps Rindge's death in 1905 took some steam out of the movement. Nonetheless, Ocean Park had, in part, disincorporated from Santa Monica, or incorporated itself in February 1904 as an entertainment haven with centers around Pier Avenue and the Grand Canal in Venice. On reincorporation, the village had set aside all of the beach from Navy to Horizon Sts., for non-commercial use only. Part of the Ocean Park Pier remained in Santa Monica, making only the south side of it available for entertainment development, or they could develop the Horseshoe Pier between Marine and Pier Avenues.
