    Great research Chris. You found much more than I thought possible.
    I might have one of my friends try and hunt down the EIR for the park. There might be a history section in the report may describe the spy complex". If there were Federal or State funds involved with the development of the park, someone may have documented the structures (if the buildings were +45 yrs old)when park area was planned & graded.
    Worth a look. The EIR would be at the archaeo. info center at Cal State Fullerton.
    The OC Spy complex might have been a cool place to have worked back in the 1940s & 50s.

  2. Chris. I looked back at the areal photo of the FCC site on Edinger, and just happened to notice that the bridge over the SA river (the famous Edinger dip) was under construction. I remember we kids thought it was a great shame that the 'ol dip would no longer be there because it was great fun to "jump" out bikes off the road.
