I don’t know if anyone took on EveningStar’s So-Cal (Orange County/Los Angeles) pinglist, but this story would have fallen under the category.

So, So-Cal Ping!

Thank you. From a happy 70 year resident of Los Angles.

The top photo just doesn’t look right.

That angle would be pointing north whereas the other photo looks as though it would be from the perspective of the Cahuenga Pass i.e. looking south.

Now how would I know?

You see, that antenna array above the Hollywood sign is the old Civil Defense Training Center. Now back in about 1964 Sue and I would go up there in my ‘57 Star Chief convertible, with the top down, and survey the LA night lights among other things.

Those were the days.

In my youth I saw that cross probably 20 times (years) coming and going on Christmas Eve driving out to the Valley for Family gatherings. It was kinda emotional and reminded you what you were celebrating.
