Embark on the Los Angeles Audio Tour: Hidden Icons and Stories of Downtown Legacy
A golden marquee burns against twilight in downtown Los Angeles but shadows crowd its edges. Behind these storied facades, secrets linger that most visitors never glimpse.
This self-guided audio tour reveals a city of shattered ambitions, whispered scandals, and vibrant resilience—leading you through hidden alcoves and dazzling halls that shaped LA’s spirit.
Which legendary star’s downfall rocked the Broadway Theater District to its core? Why did a glittering dance floor at the Alexandria Hotel become the stage for political intrigue? What ancient recipe vanished from Little Tokyo’s streets, sparking an odd local manhunt?
Wander past iconic seats and ornate lobbies. Slip into the light and dark of LA’s layered past, where moments of rebellion and hope still echo through marbled corridors and historic storefronts. See the familiar transformed and step into stories that pulse beneath the city’s surface.
