Explore the Secret History of Historic Downtown LA on 2 Hr Walking Tours Starting at the World Famous The Last Bookstore - Every Sat & Sun Morning from 10:30AM- 12:30PM
My Saturday and Sunday Morning tours of
Historic Downtown LA - from 10:30 to 12:30 every Saturday and Sunday (Price now $15 per person; children under 10 free) - start at THE LAST BOOKSTORE this Saturday August 13th and Sunday August 14th 2016 - which is located at 453 S. Spring in the Spring Arts Tower. And
each of these tours can be customized - within reason, of course - to
meet the interests of those who reserve ahead of time.
The Last Bookstore presents 2 hour walking tours of the The Secret Lives of Historic Downtown Los Angeles - FEATURED In GQ MAGAZINE and Endorsed By - LOS ANGELES MAGAZINE and AMERICAN COWBMAGAZINE,
Among the many things you will learn this weekend is that if a friend of Wyatt Earp's had not built the Alexandria Hotel - it would have been impossible for George Gershwin to have written his iconic Rhapsody in Blue.
And all tours start at THE LAST BOOKSTORE in the Spring Arts Tower at 5th and Spring - enter on the 5th street side - and they are now only $10 per person.
And
besides our regular scheduled tours, we will be offering customized
tours on different days and different times and from one to three hours
including weekdays - depending on your schedule. With a minimum of four
reservations, we will design a tour of any part of Downtown focusing on
any subject matter you choose. These tours can be after work, during
lunch breaks - or??
All tours begin at THE LAST BOOKSTORE at
453 S. Spring Street in the Spring Arts Tower and will be led by long
time Downtown resident Brady Westwater who, besides being involved with
the Downtown LA Neighborhood Council, the Historic Downtown BID, Gallery
Row, Art Walk, and the BOXeight and the CONCEPT Fashion Weeks, has
brought over 150 businesses, artists and non-profit institutions to
Downtown. All tours are now - only $15 per person.
If you are a participant in 'Historic Downtown Los Angeles 101' Tour, you will see the first motion picture theater built, the place where Babe Ruth signed his contract with the Yankees, the hotel where Charlie Chaplin lived when he made his early films (and the place where he made his Los Angeles vaudeville debut in 1910) - plus the homes and haunts of everyone from actor Nicholas Cage, the Black Dahlia, Rudolph Valentino, LA’s version of Jack the Ripper, President Teddy Roosevelt, the Night Stalker, western outlaw Emmet Dalton, actor Ryan Gosling and more. And you will also visit where O. J. Simpson bought his knife.
You’ll explore an intersection where all four buildings were often visited by gunfighter/sheriff Wyatt Earp since they were all built or occupied by friends of his from Tombstone during the shoot-out at the OK Corral. At this intersection you will also discover what John Wayne, a prime minister of Italy, Houdini, Winston Churchill, boxer Jack Dempsey, Greta Garbo, President Woodrow Wilson and multiple Mexican boxing champions all had in common here.
We
expect this tour to be popular with not only people considering moving
to Downtown and people who work in Downtown and who would like to know
what to do after hours in Downtown - but also to recent and even long
established Downtown residents who want to know more about their
neighborhood.
