Lonely Planet Los Angeles San Diego & Southern California (Regional Travel Guide) Review

Lonely Planet Los Angeles San Diego & Southern California (Regional Travel Guide) Overview

“Perhaps LA is best defined by those simple life-affirming moments. A cracked-ice, jazz-age cocktail on Beverly Boulevard, a hike high into the Hollywood Hills sagebrush, a swirling pod of dolphins off Point Dume…” – Adam Skolnick, Lonely Planet Writer

Secret Stairs: A Walking Guide to the Historic Staircases of Los Angeles Overview

In a city known for its fast cars and freeways, this guide reveals a unique feature of the Los Angeles cityscape: more than 200 stairways across the hilly sections of the city, many of which are remnants from the days when most city residents depended on streetcars and buses for transportation. Containing more than 40 walks and detailed maps, this handbook highlights the charms and quirks of this quintessential feature of Los Angeles’ development and chronicles the geographical, architectural, and historical features of each staircase and the neighborhoods in which the steps are located. Rated for duration and difficulty, the circular walks deliver tales of historic homes, their fascinating inhabitants, and troves of historic trivia—such as where William Faulkner lived while he wrote the screenplay for To Have and Have Not, where Graham Nash lived, and where actress Thelma Todd was murdered—while other walks highlight spectacular homes by some of southern California's most important architects, including Neutra and Schindler. From strolling through the classic La Loma neighborhood in Pasadena and walking the vintage Red Car Loop in Silver Lake to taking the Beachwood Canyon Hollywoodland hike and enjoying the magnificent ocean views from the Castellammare district in Pacific Palisades, these staircases present a new way for urban explorers to discover a little-known side of the City of Angels.
