15,000 Hits For True Crime Blog Revealing Forgotten L.A. History, Architecture
The 1947project : http://1947project.blogspot.com/
In just two months, the 1947project--a chronological blog in which historic Los Angeles crimes are recounted, their locations revisited and the city's changes explored—-has had more than 15,000 visitors. There's something for nearly everyone at 1947project: crime buffs, architectural preservationists, longtime Angelenos getting their memories massaged or newcomers curious about the history of their neighborhood.
On May 1, The Los Angeles Times featured the 1947project creators in a long interview in the Sunday Magazine.
We hope you’ll visit the site that blogger Andplus describes as "If James Ellroy blogged." Scrubbles calls "a novel idea," Howard Owens says "noir fans, laophiles, mystery fans and just plain anybody fascinated by bloody crime will want to check [it] out" and The Blogora raves "It represents the best, I think, of what the Web can give us."

About the authors: cultural historian Kim Cooper publishes Scram, a journal of unpopular culture, and co-edited "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth" and the new "Lost in the Grooves." She studied under both of LA's legendary architectural historians, David Gebhard and Reyner Banham. A third-generation Angeleno, Cooper resides in Lincoln Heights, LA's first suburb.
Signage historian and photographer Nathan Marsak, author of "Los Angeles Neon," is an active preservationist morbidly fascinated with the de-evolution of Los Angeles architecture. He owns the biggest, spookiest house in Highland Park, LA's other first suburb.
