Rainbow Gardens Gone except in memory
more on the 1960s mexican music scene (from east LA to Pomona)
"The El Monte American Legion Stadium was home to legendary “oldies but
goodies” DJ Art Laboe-sponsored concerts but had been demolished. Some
of these sites were also far away from East LA, including Pomona’s
demolished Rainbow Gardens and Fullerton’s Rhythm Room. Some venues were
simple union halls, like the Big and Little Union Halls and others were
schools like the St. Alphonsus School Auditorium."
