Figueroa St South of the Coliseum.

I lived in this area from 1964 to 1975.

Went to elementary school on 61st & Fig.

It was already a human trafficking haven in the 1960's.

It's much worse now.

A Salvadoran storefront church opened up the street from my house a few weeks ago and most afternoons and evenings they sell just fantastic pan con pollo and pastelitos Savaldoreños, neither of which is very common as street food here.

Deep sociological insight from an anonymous Google maps user -- although the physical beginning of the Walk of Fame is ten miles north of this spot, without a century of violence against South LA, including coercive rent extraction, there's no Walk of Fame, no Hollywood, no movie industry, no Los Angeles even. This is indeed where it all begins.
