In looking at photos of the California Theatre, I am wondering which side is 4th and which side is C street in 1928. (Long side vs short side) I’m attempting to pin point 1126 4th in the photos from the 1122 4th California Theatre address. Which way do the numbers run when facing the front of the theatre?
I am writing a book about my grandfather, Michael J. Rorke. He owned a restaurant at 1126 4th San Diego in 1928. I am attempting to determine the name of that restaurant. Since it is so close to the California Theatre at 1122, someone suggested that the restaurant was attached to the theatre. The 1930 San Diego telephone book lists 1126 as the Poinsettia Cafe. But my grandfather was gone by 1929.
Can anyone help me in determining the name of the restaurant at 1126 4th in 1928? Also, would 1126 be closer to or further away from C Street compared to 1122. I am looking at a photo of the California Theatre and am attempting to locate 1126.
