@NashvilleMWS why is there water gushing out of two cracks in Hermosa St? (There's a utility vehicle nearby, so I assume it's already being addressed-- this is just for my own neighborly curiosity.)

working on my chapter on the angela davis case, so thought it'd be worth mentioning this again:

davis was a grad student at UCSD when hired as a prof at UCLA in '69. she kept her san diego apartment & rented what she described as a "6-room" apartment in LA. each cost $75/mo 1/x
