Thanks for the information , Calinative.
Here's a closer look at the California Federal & Saving Building.

That's quite a helipad on top! (I thought it was white-out at first)

Did a Google maps street view, and see that the old Cal. Fed building has a "VERIFI" logo at the top. Verifi must be the name of a company I haven't heard of.
Why was the "Miracle Mile" called that? Maybe a developer came up with the name. I guess bubbling tarpits with giant mammoth, mastadon, ground sloth, dire wolf and saber toothed cat fossils is somewhat miraculous in a busy city. Barely more than 10,000 years ago Los Angeles teamed with giant and fierce creatures that would rival the Serengeti. Only 200 years ago grizzly bears, wolves and cougars roamed the outskirts and sometimes ate people.
