Description
ANSWER: East. That's the view from the City Hall tower. In the foreground the top of the new Police Administration Building. At lower right the intersection of 1st and San Pedro Sts. Slanting across the photo just above center the Los Angeles River. Three bridges are visible--1st St., 4th St. and 6th St.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.199 -- Here's the second of four directional views of the city taken from the City Hall tower. And, like all of them, you should have no trouble figuring out which way the camera pointed. Too easy? See Page 36, Part 1.
