Most tourists who visit Southern California confine their explorations to such famous destinations as Hollywood Boulevard, Rodeo Drive or the Santa Monica Pier. And there's certainly plenty to do and see at any of those old favorites. But when looking for something off-the-beaten path, savvy natives know the tour company to call is Esotouric.
On Saturday January 30, a select crew of urban explorers will climb aboard for the second excursion of EAST SIDE BABYLON, the latest addition to Esotouric's popular crime bus tour series, which debuted in a sold-out Halloween weekend date.
Passengers on this unusual bus adventure will discover fascinating, little-known historic neighborhoods and the grim memories they hold. With crimes spanning the 20th Century, some hideously gruesome, others weird and frankly unbelievable, the tour provides a new way of discovering the city,via crime scenes and oddities that make ordinary houses and intersections seem to vibrate with a mysterious energy.
Come visit Boyle Heights, where Night Stalker Richard Ramirez was captured and a mad dad ran amok. Roam the hallowed lawns of Evergreen, L.A.'s oldest cemetery and home of some memorable haunts and strange burials. Visit East Los Angeles, where a deranged radio shop employee made mince meat of his boss and bride-- and you can get your hair done in a building shaped like a giant tamale. Explore the ghastly streets of Commerce, where one small neighborhood's myriad crimes will shock and surprise. Visit Montebello, for scrumptious milk, eggnog and cookies at Broguiere's Farm Fresh Dairy washed down with a horrifying case of child murder. All this, and so much more on EAST SIDE BABYLON, Esotouric's exploration of L.A.'s most horrifying forgotten crimes.
