Los Angeles Landmark: Disney Hall

The Frank Gehry designed Disney Hall opened in 2003.

It became the fourth hall of the Los Angeles Music Center downtown.

Disney Hall serves as the home for the Philharmonic and Master Corale.

Los Angeles Landmark: Capitol Records

The iconic Capitol Records Building lies in the heart of Hollywood.

Just north of the famous intersection at Hollywood and Vine.

Built in 1956 it was designed to look like a stack of records on a turntable.

There is a blinking light at the top of the needle...

It spells out 'Hollywood' in Morse Code and has done so since its unveiling.

It is also known as 'The House the Nat Built' owing to Nat "King" Cole.

As his sales of records and merchandise in the 50's & 60's was considerable.

The 1st album recorded here: Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color.

The Capitol Records Building has also been featured in tons of movies.

Including fun disaster films such as Earthquake & The Day After Tomorrow.

Los Angeles Landmark: Hollywood Forever

Hollywood Forever Cemetary is the final resting for many movie stars.

Including: Don Knotts, Rudolph Valentino, Mel Blanc, Cecile B. DeMille,

Douglas Fairbanks & Jr., Estelle Getty, George Harrison, Tyrone Power,

Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Ramone (above), Fay Wray & Vampira.

The circular marker off to the right is for Hattie MacDaniel...

It is an 'empty tomb' dedicated many years after her death in 1952.

African-Amercans were not permitted burial at the time of her passing.

Toto from The Wizard of Oz also has an 'empty tomb' at Hollywood Forever.

Bugs Bunny voicer Mel Blanc's tombstone aptly says: That's All Folks.

Los Angeles Landmark: The Coliseum

Built for the 1932 Summer Olympic Games.

It is the only stadium to ever be used for a 2nd Olympics - in 1984.

The Coliseum has also been (or is) home to several team franchises:

USC Trojans, Rams, Dodgers, 22 Pro Bowls and the Raiders.

It also serves as a major concert venue.

Pop has seen U2, Rolling Stones, Who and Guns N Roses there.

Los Angeles Landmark: Paramount Studios

Pop rented a car this weekend and we took a little tour of LA.

This week I will be featured in a series called Los Angeles Landmarks.

I am sure you will enjoy it.

Cinco de Mayo: Flashback to 2010

That's me a couple years ago with a mariachi band on Olvera Street.
