Thanks so much for your comment. It's always nice to have readers, but especially ones who have such a thoughtful response to one's work. I suspect that Watts Towers looks considerably nicer than when you went as a kid, since it's now an arts center with non--profit funding, though the fence may come as a shock at first. I had spent a lot of time driving around South Central before arriving at the towers, so I had a good sense of how many yards were filled with excess stuff, often sorted by type, when not simply filled with vehicles. I just learned that the TV show <em>Sanford and Son</em>, about the junk collectors, was set there.
