I can't match any buildings, though.
Thanks so much for the information and links about Magnetic Hills, Mackerm.

I might have solved one of the discrepancies in the LaDailyMirror article below.


Max Weinstock at ladailymirror


Note at the end where the author states the mystery deepens because St. Ives is east of Doheny, not west. (so the whole part about it being regraded and 'demagnetized' is wrong)


I believe the place they should be talking about is Magnetic Terrace which branches (west) off of N. Doheny at the very end of Thrush Way...Doheny Dr. is in the upper right corner. (directly below)




To get your bearings.



As you can see I've placed an arrow where Doheny starts to make its trek up into the hills. I've also circled St. Ives Dr. .. Magnetic Terrace is at upper right just above the 'Bird Streets'.









It's hard to tell but that car is slowly inching its way uphill. (I'm kidding)

Would anyone like to drive up there and see if you experience the anomoly?
