From the Feb. 17, 2013, L.A. Times.
The Los Angeles city council reviewed an internment site for possible historical status. Verdugo Hills Gold Course, a former CCC camp in Tuna Canyon Detention Station. Civilians of Japanese, Japanese-Peruvian, Italian and German descent were sent here.
The site is threatened by development.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
