They lived on Taft, about 4 houses East of Garfield and a few blocks South of Gardendale. My grandpa bought in the mid 40's when it was new and sold and in the mid 60s, right after the Watts riots. Dad left home in '52 to join the marines at 16.

Small world. My wife grew up on Karmont, a couple of blocks north of Imperial Hwy. Just west of Los Amigos golf course. She remembers watching the smoke from the Watts riots from their yard.
