That's been done - problem is the original property was a hodgepodge of lots and the structure(s) were ultimately condemned, and the original "road" or access no longer exists - at least at that part, so really that leaves poking around to find what part of the property the spider pool (or the remaining mosaic) rests on. Reports from other blogs state parts are visible from the opposite side of the Hollywood Freeway, which means up from Pacific or Woodrow Wilson. Other reports state that when there you are near someone's driveway - so a good day in that neighborhood, you'd probably locate it. Hillside is steep and covered in cactus, so no easy going - not to mention there is probably fencing of some sort. Still, a doable quest that remains on my to do list.
