• • Author and former Los Angeles cop Joseph Wambaugh, writing on the Los Angeles Times op-ed page, calls Rossmore Avenue his favorite L.A. street and only partly because James Ellroy lives on it.
• • "It's retro and romantic for anyone with powerful remembrances of things past," Joseph Wambaugh says. "One sees ghosts on Rossmore, Mae West for one, sashaying out of the Ravenswood to a waiting limo and two hunky escorts for a night at the Cocoanut Grove. I used to patrol that street when I was a young cop assigned to Wilshire Division. And nobody ever punched me in the mouth on Rossmore Avenue. . . ."
