  • Of course, it was blown up by the Martians in "War of the Worlds."
  • and in the real world it isn't the City Hall but the headquarters of the Daily Planet. You can't make out the offices of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, though.
  • I believe CH was actually completed in 1929.
  • 1928
  • Yes, 1928. The Lindbergh Air Beacon was installed that year.
  • Go to the Observation Deck on the 27th Floor, Absolutely breathtaking view of downtown LA buildings. Maps depict other important sightings in the area.
  • GOTTA do that bodom...we live in Garden Grove near Disneyland.
