For eleven days in January 1910, a rise southwest of the Dominguez adobe held the first major airshow in the United States and one of the earliest anywhere in the world. Around 254,000 tickets were sold. Grandstands went up for tens of thousands of people and the Pacific Electric lengthened its platform nearby to move the crowds out from downtown. The Los Angeles Times called it one of the greatest public events in the history of the West.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
