"And then, one fairy night, May became June. It was a night of green shimmer and silver light, a night of warm breathes and sudden cold currents, when the woods were alive with small, mysterious sounds…"
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Good night

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote of Joan Crawford: “The best example of the flapper girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes.”

When the International Bank Building was completed at Spring & Temple #DTLA in 1907, it must have really stood out because I can’t imagine there would have been many 10-story office towers back then. At the time, the location was in the heart of LA’s financial district.

One of the best FREE things to do in Los Angeles. . .go visit the Tom Bradley Observation Deck of City Hall.

Built in 1928, it was the tallest building in Los Angeles for 36 years. You can still go to the top and enjoy 360° views of our beautiful city.

Let’s get into it!
