Thank you again. Gorgeous aerial. The first thing I thought of when seeing it was of all the trouble they had moving the high school off Poundcake Hill.
Court Flight (on the lower margin across from the Hall of Records) was in operation, I think, from 1905 to 1943.

That's another location for 2004's "Collateral" . The Panorama Suite ($2,550 per night) is in the round section on the top.
This particular director is very fond of combining two or three different locations into one.
In the neo-noir film, Vincent the hit man enters the old I. Magnin's at 3240 Wilshire Blvd but when he gets upstairs, we're in the Panorama Suite.
Furthermore, the green-screened view out the windows is the one from the roof of the Superior Oil building/ Standard Hotel in DTLA.
Leaves one sort of breathless.
