Since I don't go anywhere and just read, I think this will keep me occupied until the holidays end.Judy Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697891339749148848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976382847467461530.post-80261952318380239882015-11-03T13:30:01.393-08:002015-11-03T13:30:01.393-08:00In 1969 I was patrol cop with LAPD, and as a resul...In 1969 I was patrol cop with LAPD, and as a result of a very high profile shooting while working with my brother(!) I got transferred to old Harbor Division in San Pedro, at the time I felt like they might as well have sent me to Siberia. Oh what an eye opener when I checked in! MY first night there (working the graveyard shift) I paired up with an old partner from 77th Street station, and right out of roll call he took me to Beacon Street, and as I recall the name of the bar we walked into was the White Swan. All I can say (or will say) is that the place looked like a movie set with character actors sitting inside, then my partner ordered us a Salty Dog each. So there we were, in full uniform with hats on and a drink in our hand, going through introductions and schmoozing the bar flies. A few hours later I got introduced to Terminal Island as a result of a radio call re a bar fight between several dock workers … biggest SOBs I ever saw and they felt no pain! And the rest of the story is history suitable only for close friends and male family members. So glad I had a chance to see San Pedro while it still had a some of the flavor of the past.Chilibreathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961798218037173681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976382847467461530.post-7717569341394539302012-10-14T13:20:17.980-07:002012-10-14T13:20:17.980-07:00Todd-
