Talk:Beverly Glen, Los Angeles

Central canyon history
If you type "Seabury Lane, Los Angeles, CA" into Google maps you will see that you are in the middle of what looks like a large tract development. There's a grid of streets and lots. Only a few of those were developed and even with the developed streets Google has some intersecting, etc. that don't in reality.

From what I recall, at one time a food company (Kelloggs?) had bought that part of the canyon, created the divisions you can see on today's Google map, and gave away the lots in a contest. Many of the lots were too small for a normal house meaning people would buy and consolidate several lots to build in the area.

It's possible the development was built out and then destroyed in a fire such as in 1959 or 1961. I lived there as a child in the early 1970s and there were many foundations in the hills where the houses had burned and never been replaced.

I looked in Google News from 1/1/1500 to 1/1/1930 but did not see anything meaning reliable sources for this bit of history would be from on or after 1/1/1930 and before 1/1/1970. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 22:51, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
