Description
ANSWER: Well, it's one of those old oil wells that are on the southern slopes of the Elysian Park hills, virtually a stone's throw from the bustling Civic Center. This one is in the back yard of what was once the residence of Thomas O'Brien, once one of the finest "country homes outside Los Angeles." Disonicio Sanchez has lived there for 30 years and, being pretty hep on the place's history, he should know. Exact location is a knoll at the corner of W College and Centennial Sts. KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.82 -- Naturally, you can guess what this is. But, where you get around to where it is, you run into some interesting stuff. (That City Hall tower ruins more mysteries!) Only recourse is to turn to the answer on Page 33, Part 1.
