Thanks to all who wrote in. This week's Spot is the headquarters for our city's public library system, one of the largest in the world.

Designed by architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, the building is topped with a pyramid, and includes a four-wall mural by illustrator Dean Cornwell.

On April, 29, 1986 an arson fire severely damaged the building and destroyed a significant part of the library's collection. The whole city came together to raise funds for the restoration of the Central Library, which reopened in October of 1993

Try the first Name That Spot. It's a single block in the heart of Hollywood.

Most of the viewers that wrote in got this one. The correct answer: Leimert Park.

Situated just north of the Crenshaw District, this beautiful neighborhood was originally developed in the late 1920's. It features lots of tasteful architecture, and lots of spectacular trees. For more than a generation, it's been a focal point for African-American arts and culture in Los Angeles.
