Bryan, Thanks for the info. It proves that my sources weren't tipping the bottle! I find it truly amazing that Riverside High School seemed to last less than 30 years. It must have been a very small building as there isn't a helluva lot of property there. It would have to have been south of the railroad tracks and north of West Carson and, I presume, Riverside St. I guess that Tom Murphy had a relative who was mayor back in the thirties and the high school got in the way of some of his ideas.............
