The home, featuring Mayan and Spanish Revival architecture, would later be named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2019, becoming the first place to earn such a designation in Los Angeles. Tobacco magnate turned real estate developer Abbot Kinney carves out canals near the beach, naming the district the Venice of America. From the ancient La Brea Tar Pits to the latest hotels and cultural attractions, read on for a timeline of the incredible history of Los Angeles.

A stranger in a pickup truck arrives, then leaves after Nick smashes one of his headlights. The next day, Wade discovers his car's fan belt has been severed; a local man named Lester offers to drive Wade and Carly to the nearby town of Ambrose while the rest of the group head to the game. In our opinion, the statues of the celebrities are not as realistic looking as the ones at Madame Tussauds and this museum doesn’t have the “flash” that the other museum has.

This hotel also boasts an excellent spa, a rooftop pool on the 5th floor (often frequented by beautiful bronzed bodies) and deluxe suites on the upper most stories. World class shopping and restaurants as well as a number of Hollywood’s most famous sites are well within walking distance of Loews. Sara Copping, the executive director of the Visit Buena Park tourist bureau, often gets calls asking if the museum is open or what its hours are. The sign may represent a treasured part of history for locals, but those from outside the neighborhood are often confused about the lack of a wax museum under it. No citizens prowl the streets, although some seem to be attending a funeral. Had Wade and Carly only seen the 1953 Vincent Price thriller, they might have saved themselves, but no.

The 3.1 million square-foot stadium is the largest in the NFL, as well as the first indoor-outdoor stadium to be constructed. "Go for Broke" was the motto of the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most decorated unit in the history of American warfare. Members of the 442nd received over 18,000 awards in less than two years, including 21 Medals of Honor.

The architect used “soft glass” so that when you walk on the outside of this room the windows instantaneously turns fuzzy and you cannot make out the features of those inside. However at certain angles you can see who is inside; this was done so those outside of the VIP room have at least a glimpse of who is inside there, but at the same time gives the celebs their privacy. Be sure to check out a real Oscar award on display in the VIP room.

A museum such as this one would have to constantly be on the lookout for updates to records. During our visit, we found some of their exhibits were somewhat out of date – especially the one on sports and some of their celebrity exhibits. Greek Theatre is located along North Vermont Ave off of Los Feliz Blvd. This, along with Griffith Observatory was built in 1929 from money left by the founder of Griffith Park, Griffith J. Griffith. The location is in a canyon and was chosen as the outdoor acoustics are very good. Griffith had a bad side to his personality; during a vacation to Santa Monica he shot and severely wounded his wife, and as a result spent time in San Quentin.
House of Wax (2005 film)
There is also a Chamber of Horrors, featuring classic and current movie monsters. A battle ensues within the house of wax after the twins find Wade and Nick pulls Carly away after wanting to help him, Carly beats Bo in the face to death with a baseball bat. Vincent enraged over his brother’s death then chases Carly upstairs. Back to the campsite as Paige stripdances Blake but their background music is abruptly turned off. As Blake goes to switch it back on he finds the missed call on his mobile.
Some of this studios have been recreated (room for redheads only – used by Lucille Ball and blondes only – used by Marilyn Monroe). The general public can enter the Observatory and view all of its exhibits without having reservations or paying any fees. There are excellent views of the Los Angeles Basin on clear days, and the Hollywood Hills (including the Hollywood Sign) from the side of North Vermont and East Observatory Roads.
During the Academy Awards there is no VIP room and this room is not closed off from the main lobby. Dolby Theatre (formerly Kodak Theatre) is located almost next door to TCL Chinese Theatre is home to the Academy Awards as well as many other star studded events. Compared to nearby historical theatres, the Dolby is a relatively new addition to Hollywood having opened in 2001. Over 94 million dollars was put into the construction of this – its unbelievable inside – this is one of the highlights of Hollywood and we highly recommend taking a tour. Be sure to stop at the Hollywood Visitor’s center (ground floor on Hollywood Blvd) to pick up a coupon for several dollars off admission to the Dolby Theatre.
With the museum now long closed, that sign over Beach Boulevard sometimes poses a problem. There is a sleek Spider-Man, an ominous Batman (Michael Keaton version, perched near the ceiling), and a nice set of figures of Tim Burton’s PLANET OF THE APES (the apes looking more life-like than the human). Although it's filled with stupid characters who make basic horror movie mistakes (they take the detour, accept a ride from a stranger, investigate the creepy town, etc.), it also has a way of getting under the skin. Inside they find frighteningly realistic wax figures of people who appear not to be celebrities like usual sculptures. As they help Carly up, a redneck appears and begins dumping dead deer into the pit.
It was later moved to Paramount’s current location along Melrose and Gower Aves (still in Hollywood) but eventually the building became a women’s gym and was used for storage. One of the services offered by their funeral home is live worldwide webcasts of funeral services so those not in attendance can view on their computers anywhere in the world. What is nice about this cemetery is the grave-sites and the funeral home are located in the same place (no processions through the busy streets).
The cuts received by the stranger when they were in the bathroom are stitched up. Back at the gas station they are reintroduced to Bo, whom they met at the church. Bo informs them there are no 15 inch fanbelts at the gas station, however there are some at his house. Meanwhile, at Ambrose, Carly and Wade upon reaching the town look for a gas station along with an attendant who does not seem to be at his shop. The group soon depart and are soon convinced by a complaining Paige to pull in and set up camp in the local area.
