Explore life beyond Sunset Blvd and Universal Studios. From Hollywood landmarks to biking and walking tours to hip hangouts, The Underground Guide to Los Angeles has something new in store. For visitors and residents who yearn to find the real -- and affordable -- L.A., The Underground Guide to Los Angeles is the book to own. With updated chapters like Iris Berry's Black Dahlia Drank Here -- Old Hollywood Landmarks, Libby Molyneaux's biking and walking tour of Laurel Canyon and the Hollywood Hills, and Jayson Marston's Fetish L.A., the variety of topics is endless. Whether you're looking for punk L.A.; the best thrift stores; gay and lesbian hangouts; activities for kids; or cheap places to stay, eat, and shop, they're all listed here. Among the 23 contributing writers are drag queen Vaginal Davis, Rob Zabrecky (lead singer of Possum Dixon), and filmmaker Lauren Hoffman (Bar Girls). Practical information like driving shortcuts and emergency phone numbers make this the only guide you'll need for your next trip. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
