Secret Stairs and Private Elevators

Walk #37 in Secret Stairs: A Walking Guide to the Historic Staircases of LA took us to High Tower and Alta Loma in the area south of the Hollywood Bowl. Many of you will recognize the campanile - style Tower from the 1991 Thriller "Dead Again". 

While on our trek Beverly and I met the new resident of the apt used in the film and she graciously gave us a peak inside. WOW!!!

This is how it feels to ride in the High Tower elevator!

And then...
We got to ride in the #%@! elevator!
Really!

The view from the Tower south looks very Italian to me.

She offered us a ride in the elevator!!!

The walk into Alta Loma was a whole other world, it is an odd little Utopia in the middle of Hollywood.
 
While Alta Loma is a place, it is also is a feeling. There is a feeling of Peace and serenity that you just have to experience for yourself.

Alta Loma is a Little Gem filled with even Littler Gems tucked inside.
