Looks like double-decker 7th St Bridge to me

Many thanks for that, Tovangar2.

You are right, I did rather mangle those addresses. Apologies.

Re: "Sabotage" video -mystery solved. The Seventh Street Bridge was a suspect. However, not being from L.A., I find it hard to distinguish between these pre WW2 bridges and couldn't make up my mind whether it was the First Street or Seventh Street Bridge. Have subsequently come across Sopas' brilliant piece on the Los Angeles River bridges.

I have heard that there is some controversy about these bridges and that some are to be/ have been taken down and replaced. Is the Seventh Street Bridge one of these?

For modern noir, Christopher Nolan 's Memento (2001) is also well worth checking out, featuring the Travel Inn at 7254 Foothill Boulevard, Tujunga (renamed in the film as the Discount Inn) and The Hill Crest Inn near Nordoff/Sepulveda Boulevard at North Hills (Renamed the Mount Crest Inn in the film). These places are like the spiritual successors of some of the rooming hotels of Bunker Hill of old. An interesting film -L.A. locations, Australian actor for main character and Brit Director (Nolan) and Soundtrack Composer (David Julyan).

I am loving Teddy's (Joe Pantoliano)'s Chevy Caprice, altho' Leonard Shelby's "acquired" Jaguar XK8 convertible is the star of the film.

I haven't embedded photos as I am not sure of the copyright positon.

Cheers
