Description: ANSWER: Perhaps you didn’t recognize the place in the photo, back lighted by a late afternoon sun, but it is the front of the Greek Theater in Griffith Park. Pretty picture, huh?
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO. 52 -- It looks like a movie set, complete with phony buttermilk sky. But it isn't. It's all for real, including the sky. What's more, this is quite a popular spot in town and you've probably been there. Answer on Page 28, Part 1.
