I am reading the new book Los Angeles: Portrait of a City--I hate the frequent mistakes in the captions, but am managing to enjoy the book anyway--quite a treasure trove, actually. Anyway, it seems that there was a gas storage tank right across from the S Norton Ave lot (3900 block) where the Black Dahlia was found... (p 341). There used to be some tanks here in NYC, over in Queens...traffic reports of backups at the "Elmhurst Tanks" are a memory now. Btw Socko--that picture of the Beverly Palms room recreation is great. Have got to find myself some drum lampshades.
