Locate this building, that is, what city is it in? It is the tallest building in California, the tenth tallest in the United States. In addition it is the tallest west of the Mississippi River. Although it is not near the tallest, it is still the 63rd tallest building in the world.
Because local building codes require all high-rise buildings to have a helipad, it was known as the tallest building in the world with a roof-top heliport from its completion in 1989 to 2004 when Taipei 101 opened. It is also the second tallest building in a major active seismic region; its structure was designed to resist an earthquake of 8.3 on the Richter scale.

The city where the building is located is definitely one to visit, even if you’ve been there before. It is a city where you might either love it or hate it.
As the person making up this quiz I lean toward hating it – only because of the terrible traffic on the Freeways much of the time. The Texas Transportation Institute, which publishes an annual Urban Mobility Report, ranked Los Angeles road traffic as the most congested in the United States in 2005 as measured by annual delay per traveler. It is worse in 2013-2014 than this report.
