Walking Tours of Historic Downtown Los Angeles Return This (and Next) Saturday and Sunday! November 10th and 11th Plus November 17th and 18th

After a two month hiatus - due to my volunteering to organize and shelve the... 100,000 one dollar books...... on the second floor LABYRINTH of The Last Bookstore....

12 hours a day 7 days a week - I am now taking 2 hours off from work Saturday and Sunday mornings to resume my original walking tour of Historic Downtown Los Angeles or as it is better known...

... The Secret Lives of Historic Downtown Los Angeles...

Each 2 hour tour will start at 11 AM from The Last Bookstore at the Spring Arts Tower - 453 S. Spring Street at 5th and Spring - Saturday and Sunday starting this November 10th and 11th and next weekend on November 17th and 18th and the cost is still only $15 per person.

I will also be giving free tours of the LABYRINTH  a half-hour before and a half-hour after each walking tour and then on Sundays - you will also be able to attend the Historic Downtown LA's Farmer's Market where you can have breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Plus on these tours you will not only see the historic buildings of the area...

... but also hear the long forgotten stories of those who built them and lived and worked in them.

You will learn how Babe Ruth made baseball history at 5th and Main and find out why Wyatt Earp spent so much time at 5th and Spring.  You will also see the places where Charlie Chaplin lived when he made his early films (and the place where he made his Los Angeles vaudeville debut in 1910).  And you will see where O. J. bought his knife and many, many other things.

Also on the tour will be  where the first new lofts were opened, where Gallery Row and the Art Walk began and where Fashion Week returned to Downtown.  You will see many of the new boutiques, designer showrooms and stores that have recently opened in the area along with getting a sneak preview of what will soon be happening in the area.

So for reservations - either email Brady Westwater at bradywestwater@gmail.com - or call me at 213-804-8396.
