Great then and nows, gsjansen. Very interesting.
And great info on the Bernard House, Gaylord. The Westlake District has always fascinated me, and the fact that it's been run-down for a long time also just adds to it for me. I'm sure gentrification is right around the corner; hell, the fact that the apartment building where they found the two dead babies in the basement, is being turned into condos, is proof of it.
All this Black Dahlia talk is kinda putting me in a noir mood, though the current hot temps we're getting here in LA, somehow kills the noir mood for me; hot late summers remind me instead of the Manson Murders or the Nightstalker.
But the Black Dahlia also makes me think of Georgette Bauerdorf. Makes me wanna drive by her murder apartment building again.
