Description
ANSWER: West. That's the way you were looking in the photo from the City Hall tower. That's the roof of the Hall of Records in the foreground. Over at the left is the Law Building and steel structure for the new County Courthouse. Beyond Temple St. at the right it the four-level interchange of the freeways and, way at the left, Beverly Blvd. goes over Belmont Hill. Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills are out there in the haze somewhere.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.201 -- Maybe this view from City Hall tower wasn't such a hot idea after all. Too easy. This one should be, if only because the other three already have been published. That leaves you one choice. See Page 35, Part l.
