Venice
Writings by Pat Hartman
Ghost
Town: A Venice California Life
This non-fiction book covers the time period 1978-1984. Unlike Call
Someplace Paradise, it's not about the boardwalk and beachfront,
but about Oakwood, the fairly hard-core ghetto which, during the
time I lived there, was said to be the second-highest crime area
in LA. Other Ghost Town pages: Comments
from readers, List of topics covered; long
review.
