well here's something thsat i certainly never knew before...............
it's well known that after the bradbury mansion was leveled in 1928, (or is it 29?), the site was turned into a ..........(most historic sites that become vacant in the city of angels seem to turn into this),........a parking lot to serve the courts and civic center. (well after all, they did just complete the city hall building, and where are all the powers of the city supposed to park anyway?)
court flight, provided a nifty means of transport, from the parking up on court hill, down to the civic center.

but how on earth did one get from the no longer convenient parking up on court, down to the civic center, once court flight folded?
why by a bridge that leads to the law building!!!!!!!!!!!!
view looking southwest from the roof of the broadway hotel, showing the connecting bridge 1955.....(note the very prominent dome hotel at 2nd and grand in the distance). this image is looking directly at what was once the upper station of court flight
