I'm not sure if this was posted yet. I did a quick scan of the last several pages, but did not see it.
The L.A. Conservancy is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a huge 6 hour walking tour of downtown L.A. They usually do a shorter walking tour on Saturdays, but this looks like it will be the motherload of them all.

From the website: "On Saturday, May 16, the Conservancy will hold a special docent-led tour based on that original map as part of the 35th Anniversary celebration of our Downtown Walking Tour Program. This six-hour tour will include highlights from the tour map and the Conservancy’s Downtown Walking Tours.

We'll visit interiors including (subject to availability) the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, PacMutual, Los Angeles Theatre, William Fox Building, LATC (Los Angeles Theater Center), Alexandria Hotel, The Last Bookstore, Bradbury Building, and Grand Central Market, along with the exteriors of such iconic buildings as the Oviatt Building, Eastern Columbia, Stock Exchange Building, and many others.

Enjoy a full day of touring and discovery, guided by our knowledgeable docents and shared with your small tour group of 15 people. The tour includes lunch and ends with a no-host beer and wine reception."

$65 for non members. Anyone here interested in going? Perhaps we could set up a carpool of some kind (or vanpool if enough us can go).
