282 steep, uneven steps (the 'Culver City Stairs') climb from Jefferson Blvd to a hilltop with a north-facing view across the whole basin, from Downtown to the ocean and the Hollywood Sign. After work it fills with a no-frills local workout crowd; it sits on an oil-field hill far from the tourist circuit.
