This book was on loan to me from my vintage friend Madelin and was a great source of information. It gave tips on vintage buildings, shops, places to eat or just stroll !
Union Station in Los Angeles
The beautiful Bradbury building were many movies were shot. Like Bladerunner !

I'm afraid none of of my photos did this beautiful hotel justice... Better then to reminisce of days gone by...

Image from hereI however had a slightly strange eating experience ordering what I believed to be a grilled hot turkey sandwich, only to get hot turkey slices on a large piece of bread and covered in gravy.... But it did come with cranberry sauce and it was Musso and Frank Grill ! :)

Very nice architectures in L.A. ... Did not know !
I wish I'd had this book with me on my last trip to L.A. Definitely want to look into it. I love how there are random blocks in California that look like they've been exactly the same since the 1940s. It's really cool.
Also, check out my giveaway when you get a chance!
