Description
ANSWER: Pictured is one of the four ornamental posts on the Washington Blvd. bridge that crosses the Los Angeles River. The bridge is in the heart of the industrial district and lots of people probably go truckin' on by every day without noticing the interesting border of figures on the bridge's four main posts
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO. 24 -- There are four of these. And appropriately, the border of figures in relief depicts the various industries located in the area. What and where is it? Answer on Page 32, Part 1A.
