Yeah, Los Angeles works. Think it's actually located in the City of Vernon, but it's just a few miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, CA.

Slightly off topic question for the serious history buffs.... When and why did the station name here change from Manhattan to Hobart? What's it named for/after?

I know that Hobart was a short-lived town that was eventually merged into (and disappeared into) Vernon.

Looks like they just walked out one day and did not return. There are papers and machinery still there.

Near where I was born in SW Los Angeles is a NS street named Hobart also.
Also wonder if there is any connection to Hobart Mills in No. Cal.
Googling name just drives me around in circles.

Sad, what's the future hold for Hobart Tower? Have seen it once or twice, wonder if it will be around the next time I get out that way.
