-but I know it's early because it has the Rex Arms on Orange (which of course, became Wilshire)

This area is one rank above Third World. It reminds me of places in Brazil. Many shopping cart homeless fill the nearby City Park, which appears to be well-kept and clean. They at least have several Port-a-Potties and a Pay-to-Pee LA City installation on the sidewalk outside the park gates, which are probably locked at night.

This neighborhood hosts the wholesale seafood businesses.
