- Sergeant Joe Friday: Los Angeles, California. Like a young child it's growing. Always trying to flex its new muscles. Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles was the site of many stately Victorian mansions. They house the city's early society families. Now, they're being torn down to make way for the Bunker Hill development, a planned complex of modern skyscrapers and parks. Up until 1956, buildings in the city were not permitted to exceed 13 stories. New construction methods enabled earthquake prone Los Angeles to reach for new heights. Within the last 10 years, over a hundred high-rise structures have been built, adding a new dimension to the city skyline. The city and its people are a constant source of change In my job, I try to keep up. I carry a badge.
