Thanks
Hoss... I appreciate it.
And look what just popped up on
eBay!
This was obviously taken from the same location as the
Ambassador Hotel slide except that the angle is slightly to the south. . .so Southeast, right?

In the far distance you can see the 32-story
Occidental Life Building in South Park. (built: 1965)
Oh, and one more thing.
Here is another slide newly posted on eBay from the same eBay seller.

Seller's description: Wilshire and Bronson, 1971.
