The Hill by its residents, it survived as a semi-rural pocket of modest hillside homes a brief distance from the center of the city. The night-time diorama of light from central Los Angeles proved one of the major attractions of living in this urban woodland where small wildlife–raccoons, possums, birds–abounded in the thicket and chaparral.It is not surprising that the Hill became the bohemian quarter of the 1920s and 1930s, a pastoral alternative to Bunker Hill in the downtown.
