Three men, working inside a gated parking lot, shovel mounds of dirt into a wheelbarrow at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street. The Petroleum Securities Building, behind them, shows two murals painted on it. The top mural shows an enormous round circle with the numbers "76" inside of it, an advertisement for Union 76. Below that, a mural of the actor Mel Gibson, advertising his film, "The Patriot". Numerous buildings can be seen all around. Photograph dated 2000.
