Four car Pacific Electric car, 1896. This is the Long Line which came from 4th and Broadway in Los Angeles out Sunset Blvd. to Santa Monica. Young people used to pick it up on Highland Avenue and take it out to Ocean Park to go dancing. It ran along Ocean Avenue out to Venice. The Venice Short line ran through the Culver City area. Ballona Creek backed all the way up to where the Sears Dept. Store is now between Pico and Venice. It was like a lake in winter.
