    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel

    ‘ One of my favorite places to visit in all of LA is the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, located in Downtown Los Angeles. The hotel is also a favorite of film producers and it has been used in more productions than I can blog about. The hotel was built in 1923 and at the time was…

    ‘ Last Monday night, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to fave restaurant Yamashiro in Hollywood to grab some drinks to celebrate the six month anniversary of our wedding.  I can hardly believe that it has already been six months, by the way.  While in some ways it feels as if my wedding took…

    The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    ‘ History in Los Angeles hides in the most unsuspecting of places.  Back in 2013, I stalked a small edifice at 118 Winston Street in downtown L.A. that portrayed a Western Union office in the 1973 caper classic The Sting.  I learned of the non-descript property via The Movie Tourist Blog and was thrilled at…
