Geocache Description:

A CACHE IN THE OLVERA STREET PLAZA.


CLATMANDU is  going to visit LA and host an event GC59A2H on August 22. I thought it would bring out the crowd if a new cache  is posted. There's only a virtual at Olvera St. It's the longest occupied settlement in the area. Much history here. Mariachis, native peoples dances, Mexican-American culture.

It's original name was Wine street, but in 1877 the street was extended and the name was changed to Agustin Olvera the first county judge of Los Angeles who had a home at the end of the street across from the Plaza. The beautiful huge cross was erected at the south end of the street, along with many of the beautiful huge trees you see today. The Olvera Street opened Easter Sunday (April 20), 1930.

When Christine Sterling first saw Olvera Street in 1926, she was appalled with the condition of the decaying buildings. This wonderful lady went on a mission to save this whole area of El Pueblo. She raised awareness and the funds to renovate and now it is famous for many yearly celebrations such a Cinco De Mayo and so many more wonderful celebrations.

Caching by Rail sounds like a great trip.

 

if you check the photo on the 4/5/16 log, it's not there. If you found it there, someone moved it. I keep putting it back where it belongs, man.
