We grew up right up the street from there and Linda was wrong, it was never on the corner of Alvarado. We sure hung out at the Pioneer Chicken stand lots during our jr hi and high school years. A 5-6 block walk and we have Fried chicken. It was on Echo Park Ave and Sunset and there was a Pioneer market too. Oh yeah, it was a dump. Now those houses within a half a block from there are over a mil. Everything has been gone for 15-20 years now.
