Martin Luther King Blvd used to be called Santa Barbara Avenue. It intersects with Figueroa in the Exposition Park neighborhood. Exposition Park is home to the Memorial Colisuem, the Natural History Museum, the Rose Garden and USC. The Rose Garden is where an agricultural fairground and market once stood and fronts the original location of the County Museum of Art before it moved to the Miracle Mile. My grandfather graduated from USC and later had a pharmacy at Santa Barbara and Figueroa, part of the Fox Figueroa Theater, with an adjoining apartment where he lived with his wife and their first two children. His parents and their two youngest children lived nearby; they all worked at the pharmacy. Dick Whittington lived close by, as did Jackson Pollock and Philip Guston. John Cage lived a few blocks south and Eric Dolphy lived a few blocks to the west. All of this happened over many years.
