    The vantage point is roughly the corner of Bedford and Elm, the building in the background is the former Central High School.

    Elm ran parallel to Washington one block east (under the Civic Arena).

    Washington Park and Central High were located between Bedford and Grant Blvd (now Bigelow), on the flat and valley now filled with the Crosstown Blvd connector.
