    This post is in response to the question I posed for the 'Dirty Money Black Light' and 'A Fast Count' location.

    The Garage where Becker is moonlighting as a cabby is between the 500 and 530 address on S. Los Angeles St.
    The location is either the down ramp of the roof top parking or, what was the lot next door, or before the remodel? Not sure which.
    In 'A Fast Count' you can also see this lot from another angle....It is when Jim poses as a Govt Official and questions Tony Malavita regarding the bribe. The auto shop where Tony is working...is the lot next to the roof top parking ramp.
    Either way....you can confirm this site by the building directly across the street and its window structure. As Jim is getting a ticket...you get a clear view of the building facade. That building is at 533 S. Los Angeles.

    Thanks for all the interesting info on your site.
    Sincerely,

    To further identify this location.

    You can see the building at 7th and S. Los Angeles St....as the tall building with three windows...looking over Jim's shoulder(or behind his back) in the shot posted in this thread.

    This location is definitely on S. Los Angeles about the 500-530 block of the street.
    Right across the street from the Baltimore Hotel.

    Thanks again for the great site.
