This is a free, ticketed Esotouric walking tour (only one ticket per person, please) that is also a memorial procession honoring the short life and the long, weird afterlife of Elmer McCurdy, a train robber and safecracker who was shot dead by an Oklahoma posse in 1911 and who has deep roots on Main Street in Downtown Los Angeles.

Tour begins at 12 noon sharp, with check-in time 11.30am at the patio outside Grand Central Market in front of Maple Block BBQ at 324 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90013. Please arrive on time and proceed to the check in table to get signed in and logged in to the smartphone slideshow. Scroll down for tour rules and recommendations.

There are numerous paid public parking lots around Grand Central Market, including GCM’s multi-level lot at 308 South Hill Street Los Angeles, California 90013.  The nearest Metro stations are Civic Center/Grand Park and Pershing Square.
