This has nothing to do with Elizabeth Short but it's interesting nevertheless.

I 'google street viewed' my way up the hillside and found several of the homes that appear in the 1928 photograph.*

*postscript: I've had this post ready for quite some time. After posting it today, I thought it might also be fun to find that bright white 'crenellated' building that appears down the street in the 1928 photograph. Long story short....I can't find the same intersection again and I'm beginning to think I might have gotten this it all wrong. Is it possible I have the wrong intersection and those
aren't the same houses in the 1928 photo?
This has been bugging me all afternoon.
