ER - I also enjoyed those aerial photos you posted. Great find! When I looked at this photo, something caught my eye from a discussion
on the thread a couple of years ago.

In the upper left corner of the photo is the area that was the original Calvary Cemetery on Broadway, where many of the pioneer families of
Los Angeles were buried. In the late 1800's a new Calvary Cemetery was opened on Whittier Blvd. Bodies buried in the original cemetery
were all supposed to be moved by 1928, but sloppy record keeping and other problems caused the date to be missed. A look at this 1934
photo seems to indicate that the relocation was still wrapping up.

The old cemetery site is now the location of Cathedral High School
