High Tower Movie

[Courtland Boland]

AtHightower we believe people and planet play just as important of a role as profits. The impact we have runs deeper than the chair you sit on. Join us in our journey of leaving a positive impact on our world.

Tucked between the Hollywood Bowl and Camrose Drive in the Hollywood Hills sits the cozy and unusual High Tower neighborhood, a place that feels like an exciting peek into old Hollywood. The homes along Alta Loma Terrace, the pedestrian pathway at the top of the hill, are accessible either by stairs or by the Bolognese-style "high tower" elevator at the northern end of High Tower Drive. The Carl Kay-designed duplex immediately adjacent to the tower was featured as Philip Marlowe's apartment in the 1973 classic "The Long Goodbye."

The following walking tour of the neighborhood is adapted from my book "Walking LA: 38 Walking Tours Exploring Stairways, Streets and Buildings You Never Knew Existed". Free street parking is available on Camrose Drive, although neighborhood parking restrictions apply when shows are playing at the Hollywood Bowl.

-Begin at the northwest corner of Highland Ave. and Camrose Dr. near Highland-Camrose Park, a quiet sanctuary walled off from Highland Ave. that provides a convenient picnic area for patrons of the nearby Hollywood Bowl. Head away from Highland to go west on Camrose.

-Turn right on Rockledge Rd. Straight ahead on Rockledge you'll see a gorgeous white stucco Spanish-style home with extensive blue tilework and a long balcony of arches overlooking the front courtyard.

-Cross High Tower Dr., which is lined with single-car garages for the residents of the neighborhood's hilltop homes. To the right you'll see the pretty tower for which the street is named. This structure houses a locked elevator to which only residents have a key. Continue along the path on the other side of High Tower Dr.

-Turn right on Broadview Terr., another pedestrian path, and continue up the stairs. As you approach the tower, you'll notice a raised clearing on your right. This patch of land provides a nice vantage point from which to admire the southeast view of Hollywood. The historic neighborhood of Whitley Heights is visible on the other side of Highland Ave.

-Turn right on Alta Loma Terr. This path is shady and peaceful, and the houses on either side are accessible only by way of this pathway, hence the detached rows of garages on the street below. Architectural styles range from Mediterranean to Japanese to rambling clapboard farmhouse.

This 729-acre state forest is named for the tall electric towers that were constructed on the area many years ago. Since that time, newer and higher towers have been constructed adjacent to the originals, but the name has persisted. The diverse landscape provides opportunities for a range of recreational experiences.

Primitive camping is allowed. Campsites must be at least 150 feet away from the nearest road, trail, or body of water. Camping for more than three nights or in groups of ten or more requires a permit from a Forest Ranger.

Beech Flat Road and Beech Flat Road Ext. provide access to the property and both are part of the NYS Snowmobile Trails network and they are maintained by Brantingham Snowmobile Club Inc. (leaves DEC website).

There is a 0.64-mile section of Beech Flat Ext. trail in the property that allows motorized access for people with mobility impairments. A permit is required through the Motorized Access Program for People with Disabilities.

Mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are allowed on the property; however, there are no trails on this property currently maintained for these activities.

DEC manages these lands in accordance with the management activities described in the Westward Waters Unit Management Plan. In addition to management objectives, the UMP contains detailed information on natural features, recreational infrastructure, geology, natural and human history, habitats, wildlife, fisheries and much more.

The underlying soils here are mostly sandy and deep, making for a well drained site capable of producing quality timber. The majority of trees consist of natural hardwoods such as hard maple, white ash, black cherry, soft maple, and some red oak, with a much lesser amount of pine plantations. Carefully controlled timber sales conducted by DEC's foresters have produced significant quality saw timber over the years, while achieving the goal of improving forest health and vigor.

Numerous guidebooks and maps are available with information on the lands, waters, trails and other recreational facilities in this area. These can be purchased at most outdoor equipment retailers, bookstores and on-line booksellers.

Additional information, outdoor equipment, trip suggestions and guided or self-guided tours may be obtained from outdoor guide and outfitting businesses. Check area chambers of commerce, telephone directories or search the internet for listings.

Rebecca was recommended to me by a business owner. She came to me at a challenging time in my business and was very sincere, caring, and helpful. Rebecca was a blessing fo me and my business! Her staff is awesome as well!Going on three years now with High Tower Business Solutions!

Rebecca was/is such a blessing for my husband and I. We are so glad to have found her. We own a chiropractic business that is still fairly green, so we weren't sure if we went about our taxes the correct way. Not only did Rebecca have the wealth and knowledge to guide us in the correct direction, she was equally patient and understanding in doing so. She fixed any issues we had with our business while also assisting us with our personal taxes as well. Never at one point did I feel like she spoke down to us, she has never made us feel awful for what we were trying to learn in our own, nor has she ever admonished us for our lack of experience. She only helped us tons. I am blessed by her and her team that I can't see us getting the type of professionalism, responsiveness, and care elsewhere. The atmosphere, the people who work there, and the quality care we get there is something I will never forget. Thank you!

Rebecca handles our personal and my business accounting. I have been blown away at not only her ability to handle our tax needs and business needs, but her kindness and caring heart that she shows to all who meet her. We love Rebecca and her staff and would recommend her to anyone
