Photo: Smith, 1961. The 2 & 5 Freeways were built at breakneck speed through our neighborhood in 1960-1962. Shot from Rosebud Ave in the Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract. (Click on photos to enlarge.)

Note: The vacant lots in the foreground (on Rosebud Ave) are up for a public hearing Tuesday for setback variances. They want to build closer to the street on this insanely steep hill. However they also sit on a very steep, tight hairpin turn on the only access road on a notoriously difficult hill to build.
