Description
ANSWER: Shown in the photo is what is officially recorded as Los Angeles' steepest hill -- the 2100 block of W Fargo St. It has a 32% grade and dips down from its lofty height to meet Allesandro St., where that thoroughfare intersects with Glendale Blvd.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.121 -- Aha! This is the time we've got you. This place has a certain distinction naturally. Otherwise, we would not have taken a picture of it. Okay, so where is it and what is its distinction? You'll be enlightened on Page 11, Part 1.
