Description
The observation cars of the Balloon Route Excursion, operated by the Los Angeles-Pacific Company, have arrived at Playa del Rey Pavilion, built in 1904. The Pavilion included dining facilities, a bowling alley, and a dance floor. It burned just prior to World War I. The Pavilion was the lunch stop for the popular Balloon Route, which took its name from the balloon-shaped route of the trolley tracks. On reverse: [in pen] 9 more days of school Hoorah! got a job yet? You say I don't weigh any more than I did in [Napoleon, OH]. I weighed 85 pounds there with my clothes on, and I weigh 88 lbs. here with all my clothes off. Say, if a bullet whistles why should a cannonball? If a burglar was found in a butcher shop by a cop could he jump on the scale and get a weigh? Postmark: June 12, 1911.
