@Featureman I was in the 3rd grade at Hobart Blvd Elementary School's field trip to the city hall. In 1963, it was the tallest bldg in LA.

@drakeneyez so true

[drakeneyez]

how many people wished that that building collapsed on all those corrupt politicians?

[Featureman]

I remember when the L.A. City Hall was the tallest building in the city. Most skyscrapers were 13 stories tall before the 1960s.

Those buildings are heavily retrofitted.

The building never came close to collapsing.
