| Synopsis: |
Tower of Pallets, the beaded kitchen, Struckus House, the Lake Shrine, il Giardino della Vita, the Banana Museum, Workman Temple Homestead, el Molino Viejo, Bolton Hall, and Church of the Angels are among the many hidden yet fascinating sites in the Los Angeles area unknown to most visitors and even most Los Angelinos themselves. For the first time photographer Alexander Vertikoff and author Robert Winter examine the hidden side of the city. What they turn up is sometimes quirky, other times exotic, historic, amusing, and even edgy -- the underbelly of Los Angeles. |
