I hope everyone's OK with the full resolution.
Following on from the photos of 2nd and Hope that I posted a couple of days ago, here's the Clift Hotel as seen from the Stanley.

And now, the Stanley from the Clift Hotel. The Dome Apartments are on the left, and the Stoll Apartments are on the right. This is the west end of the 2nd Street tunnel.

Turning 90 degrees, this is the view down Figueroa from the Clift Hotel.

Another 90 degrees, and we're looking at the La Salle Hotel, the Dallas Apartments, the President Hotel and the Harbor Freeway. I particularly like Dean's Sandwich Stand on the right.

The final view from the Clift Hotel shows the 1st Street bridge over Figueroa. The Norfolk Apartments are in the center.

Here's a better view of the Norfolk Apartments from the 1st Street bridge. Check out
post #21401 for pictures of the 1st Street/Figueroa intersection before the bridge was built.
