Any idea why that land sat vacant before the military housing was built? ROW for the Stephenson hwy into the city?
i cant find the rifle range topic either but i do remember a discussion about it, i grew up on chatsworth, and lived across the street from a mr. vallad [[rip), he was a fire chief and was probably 70 when i was 5, i remember him talking about the area around chatsworth and the rifle range, he was the first to build on the block in the 20's if i remember correctly......
