Big Orange Landmarks - LA Centric Blog
 

Very cool blog exploring the landmarks of LA, One Monument at a Time!

This could be a really great vacation planner for many fun and offbeat spots (or not, depending on the landmark)

Cool! Thanks for the neat link!

Ditto that!

So, I just spent a whole lotta tome on that site

Yeah, me 2

Makes me want to do one for my town.

Looks cool!

One of my goals is to take a week off from work, stay in town, and explore my city. This will be a big help when the time comes. Thanks!

COOL!!!!!

I've been in the mood for some 'sploring.

BTW, that Smith Estate looks a lot like the Victorian we spent Halloween at a few years ago.

On the page for #22 is this great picture of Ward Kimble.

Good find - thanks for pointing it out.

I LOVE the picture!!!

Walt's Big Orange Landmark - Hyperion Studio
 

Today's BOL

Hyperion Studio

Cool - thanks for the update.

Although there is a typo in this update:

Picky bastard! ;)

It's a curse - I just can't help it.

Wow, what an amazing site. I thought I was pretty well informed about the local landmarks, but there were more than a few that I was unaware of.

I love all the old Victorian homes, especially those on Carroll Ave. If you've never been down that street, and you like Victorians, you really need to make the drive.

Thanks for the link, Snowflake!

Griffith Observatory
 

The BOL for today is Griffith Observatory.

I really think a swanking needs to happen here. Of course, will I come down to LA for it? If I can, you betcha!

On a related note, I just posted a thread about latimemachines.com. The main page is kind of messy, for a taste, try:

One of my favorite places in LA I never made it to (drove by it several times)

We interrupt the election threads for The Pantages Theater. Purty!
