Love Street does refer to Rothdell Trail, an offshoot of Laurel Canyon that has apartments situated behind the Canyon Country Store, the store where the "creatures meet". The line "She has robes and she has monkeys", probably is "read" as "She has robes and she has monkeys (who are) lazy diamond studded flunkees, meaning that Pamela was probably hanging with very greasy types that Jim did not appreciate her hanging with, heroin being Pam's drug of choice. Pam was a very strong headed individual, which either attracted Jim or trapped him. Either way, she was it for him, though they both screwed around somewhat. And there is sarcasm in this song, in the way that Jim says he likes it "so far". This was probably their relationship. "Summer Sunday and a year" confuses me though.

Pam is the woman who "knew him when". Before he was much of anything, and was very supportive of his poetry.
