Three cheers for the 1947project!
My favorite kooky preservationists over at the 1947project updated their site recently. Everybody loves a good redesign, and it’s got the obligatory Powells advert, so you know it’s cool. The best part, for me at least, is that they now seem to have a full RSS feed so I’ll actually, you know, read their stuff. There’s little that’s more infuriating for me than an RSS feed that gives you like nine words and then “[…]” or “read more” or “I LIVE IN SILVER LAKE FOLKS MORE AFTER THE JUMP.” (Hi, Blogging.la!) I’m really excited to have access to the 1947project’s content in a convenient format. Thanks, guys!
Their Pasadena crime bus happens in July. The ticket prices are crazy high — $47/person — and I really should be saving money right now. Still, if the Pasadena tour is put together as well as their amazing Black Dahlia tour, it would totally be worth it. Plus it’s the ‘Dena, so bonus points for crime history in the city where I spend most of my waking hours.
Well, either way I’ll actually read their stuff now. Which is braggable.

How much did the Black Dahlia tour cost? If it’s comparable, then it might be worth it. I’m quite convinced that there should be some great stories of the underground in Pas, so I might be game.

I want to say that it was like $25/person, but I can’t remember and can’t find my records for it, so who knows, perhaps it was more. It was a ton of fun, though. The 1947project folks put on a great tour. I really want to justify the cost to myself somehow.
