The north-south line of trees between Plymouth and Lucerne marks the boundary of the first two sections of Windsor Square... somewhere in the noirish past I posted some pics showing how the surfaces of some east-west streets change abruptly at that boundary--concrete in Windsor Square, asphalt in the Windsor Hills addition....

Since I went a little overboard with the labels, here's the original shot...

(USC has identified this shot as including a view of West Adams. It doesn't.)
Thank you!!!! I know this was posted a while ago, but I was able to locate a house that I recently worked on on Lorraine. Weird to see the area with NO trees!!!!
