i told eric to go by there when he gets to cali, since i won't get a chance to.
a shame, and i agree with geeker! guess you can't have too many c-stores, walmarts, etc...

Have not been to HP in a long time, but from I recall its in a really bad area, so people are going to want to move into houses in a bad area next to LAX? I guess so but hardly seems like a high end property for houses, nothing like SA or DMR.

It's directly under the landing path, not the most desirable area even without that issue.

It's located right in the heart of Crenshaw and 10 miles away from Compton. Two of the meanest areas in So. Cal.

Nice photos Rev......
I hit my largest payoff at HP singling Game on Dude with the infamous Undaunted Rally anchoring the P4 on Gold Cup Day. At least we will have the photos

a lot of history going away when it closes..

[hi_im_god]

probably my best memory of hollywood park was having seats at the finish line for the 1st breeders cup at just $15 each. they brought in temporary seating on the apron so we had to sit in the sun all day but i still can't believe how well positioned they were for that price.

i still have the program which i was wise enough to write all over so it has absolutely no value as a collectible and i can never forget the dopey bets i made.

i don't really have any particular sense of tragedy at it's closing though. i regret what it may mean for the future of socal racing overall. but i haven't set foot there since a devo concert 3 years ago so it's hard to bemoan it's passing. it never had the spot that santa anita or del mar do to most local race fans.
