Description
For one day only, April Clemmer, creator of the Old Hollywood Walking Tour and Danny Jensen, co-author of the book 100 Things to Do in Los Angeles Before You Die, will lead guests on a behind-the-scenes tour of the parts of Old Hollywood you should definitely experience before you die!
The Old Hollywood Walking Tour, the popular public tour that explores history hidden in plain sight on Hollywood Boulevard, is bringing together this collaboration to share the insights and wit of two experts on contemporary and historic Los Angeles.
Tour stops include:
- A peek at the 1938 Hollywood in Miniature Diorama
- Famous Murals
- The oldest remaining residence on the Boulevard
- The oldest restaurant in Hollywood, where Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks unwound after a long day of filming, and where writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway wrote classic American novels
The ticket price includes a celebratory drink and light appetizers at the end of the tour at Lono, an Old Hollywood, Tiki-inspired bar on Hollywood Boulevard. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the book 100 Things to Do in L.A. Before You Die, signed by the author.
WHEN: April 6, 2019, from 3:30-6:00 p.m.
WHERE: Tours begin at the Hollywood Property Owners Alliance, 6562 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Calif. 90029
Advance tickets required. Tickets are $45 each and space is limited.

About the organizer
Organized by
Hollywood Property Owners AllianceThe Hollywood Property Owners Alliance is a 501(c)6 nonprofit corporation that manages the Hollywood Entertainment District property business improvement district (BID). The HPOA is governed by 17 property owners and/or representatives representing the diverse array of property types in the District: commercial, residential, hotel, parking lot, nonprofit and government owned. The HED is funded by approximately 400 property owners who assess themselves more than $3.4M annually to pay for cleaning, security, streetscape and marketing services. The HED spans a 1.8 mile stretch of Hollywood Blvd., from La Brea to the 101 Freeway. This middle section of the Boulevard is undergoing its own renaissance, as it is the last area to benefit from neighborhood renewal experienced in other parts of Hollywood. To help catalyze this change, the Hollywood Property Owners Alliance moved its staff office to the middle of the Boulevard, and an effort is underway to bring the property owners in this section of the BID together. A committee is working on a plan to brand this section of the BID, celebrating the rich history associated with these buildings. This “Old Hollywood” section is replete with history, legacy and stories of a vibrant downtown district where Hollywood got its start a century ago. This walking tour is just one of many activities planned to shine a light on the history of the Boulevard and stimulate a vibrant vision for the future.
