Dime A Dance



By kiki

Earlier this morning, I watched an old movie (1951) shot in various parts of downtown Los Angeles. One scene takes part in front of Dream Land Taxi Dance Hall. Dream Land was a dime, a dance hall, where lonely men in need of companionship would pay a dime to dance one song with a young girl or some older woman...I remember one time around 1950 or '51 when some of my buddies and I rode our bikes from the Simons Brickyard to downtown and tried to sneak into Dream Land only to be thrown out on our asses for being too young, not that we had any money, but that didn't matter, we just wanted to dance...For me, those were the good old days!!
