    The vantage point is roughly north of the corner of Bedford and Elm.

    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.
