ESOTOURIC PRESENTS: THE REAL BLACK DAHLIA DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR

March 1, 2025

The Real Black Dahlia tour seeks to answer this question by intimately exploring the last weeks of Elizabeth Short’s life, asking not “who killed her?” but “who was she?”—and how do we know so much about a person who was a stranger in town, with no fixed address, no means of support and no real confidantes? The answer takes us deep into the twin shadow worlds of mid-century investigative reporting and detective work, and a high stakes race to turn trauma into gold.

Tour begins at 10:30am sharp, with check-in time 10am 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.
