To Live and Die in L.A.

When I lived in Long Beach I was too young to be told about the Black Dahlia, but I learned about it later.

If you've ever lived in LA, you've got an interest in true crime, you've enjoyed Raymond Chandler's stories, or you want to learn about mid-20th century Southern California architecture, the 1947 Project is for you.

"The blog, a day-by-day blotter of 1947's more lurid moments, and the tour, which visited crime scenes from that and other years, offer a peek at Los Angeles then and now, seen through the lens of acts horrific or quirky. They also reflect a continuing fascination with all that is sinister under the perpetual Southern California sun."

You can read a background story about it here.
