The demolition of that house in Bunker Hill reminds me how important the Los Angeles Conservancy is to this city. As a non-profit group, they've been responsible for saving historic sites around L.A.
Every summer, they do a program called Last Remaining Seats where they show classic films and live entertainment in historic theaters around Los Angeles. It's worth going to these events just for the opportunity to see the grandeur of these old theaters as well as seeing some great films. This is where (I'm embarrased to say) I discovered the genius of Buster Keaton. This year, the movies include: Auntie Mame, Holiday, To Kill a Mockingbird, El Jefe, On The Town and The Sea Hawk.
The L.A. Conservacy offers walking tours all over the city. Great for directing your out-of-town visitors to when you're at wits' end figuring out where to take them.
