 Miracle Mile Tour - SOLD OUT
Saturday, March 26, 2011
10am - 12pm

Join the ADSLA when we take a step back in time - - literally - - on
our signature walking tour of L.A.'s iconic Miracle Mile! Born in the
1920s, this brainchild of A.W. Ross was conceived as a street to
rival the great boulevards of Europe - - elegant and spacious,
populated by stylish shops- - and the chicest people! (And this being
Los Angeles, plenty of available parking!) A.W. Ross's dream has
developed into one of the countrys most famous urban enclaves - -
featuring a treasure trove of Art Deco architecture.

This sidewalk safari is led by J. Eric Lynxwiler, urban archeologist
and celebrated co-author and researcher for the book Wilshire
Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles. If you've never taken a
tour with Eric, you're in for a treat - - and if you have, you know 
that his encyclopedic knowledge of L.A. and its environs is rivaled
only by his wit and humor.

The tour begins at the Stiles Clements-designed, black and gold terra
cotta bank building at 5209 Wilshire - - come join the ADSLA and
explore neighborhood block by block to see what the area was, what it
is and what it will be!

Comfortable walking shoes, hat, sunscreen and water suggested. 2-hour
metered parking available in the area. Please read signs carefully.
