ESOTOURIC TOURS PRESENTS: HOTEL HORRORS MAIN STREET VICE DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES WALKING TOUR

November 16, 2024

Join Esotouric’s Kim Cooper and Richard Schave on a tour of the ribald, racy, raunchy old promenade where the better people simply did not travel, but kicks were had by all who did. Burlesque babes and tattoo artists, weird wax museums, sword swallowers, fake and real freaks, taxi dancers and B-girl hustlers, elegant hotels and dirty magazine stands, sophisticated steak houses and nickel donut dives, even Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones — these were the pleasures and the people to be found along Main Street during the 20th century.

Blending true crime, architecture, theatrical, documentary and social history, this tour aims to revive the ghosts that cling to the bricks and alleyways and inside some time capsule buildings where the past is present.

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.

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.
