My god, I had no idea all that happened at the Hollywood Knickerbocker. That place just HAS to be haunted.
I can imagine the ghosts literally bumping into each other nonstop.

That's a great photograph of the Biltmore Hotel you posted sopas_ej.
Years ago I attended a function in the Biltmore Hotel ballroom.
I walked into the lobby and it was like being transported back to the 1920s.
It's such a magnificent place....so baroque and luxurious.
It's a moment in my life I will never forget.

Now for a moment I'd rather forget.
My very first job in Los Angeles was at the Beverly Center.
The building is such a behemoth. The joke back then, was that the
Beverly Center was the box the Pacific Design Center came in.
But I had NO idea it harbored a working oil well !!

(I just googled Beverly Center oil well and sure enough there it is)

Sopas_ej, you're a veritable font of information. .....or is it 'fount'?
