A rig pumps oil from the Inglewood oil field, seen from the nearby Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, in the unincorporated Windsor Hills area of Los Angeles Friday, Feb. 12, 2010. The Inglewood field, one of the richest oil basins in the world where crude was discovered in 1924, sits adjacent to an area of homes once known as the 'black Beverly Hills.'

(AP Photo/Reed Saxon)AP - This sprawling metropolis is built atop one of the richest oil basins in the world. Wells dot the city landscape, some hidden behind hollow building facades much like a Hollywood movie set, or, in the case of Beverly Hills High School, encased in a tower painted with flowers.
