For immediate release
April 4, 2006
WHAT: Nightmares of Bunker Hill Crime Bus Tour, Sunday 4/16/06, noon-5pm. $47 includes snacks, beverages and five-hour luxury coach tour.
LOS ANGELES- Traditionally, Easter Sunday is a day for family, faith, feasting and reflection. But this year, it's also a day for shocks, scares and hilarity as the 1947project debuts its newest historic L.A. Crime Bus Tour, the downtown-themed Nightmares of Bunker Hill.
Featuring lively tales from the 1880s to the 1970s, Nightmares of Bunker Hill reveals the weird, old L.A. that's not there anymore and the badly-behaved people who didn't make the city great, but sure made it more interesting.
Crime Bus passengers will tour the old Italian/Mexican district (near modern day Chinatown) and visit the scenes of grisly bar fights, tragic suicides, opium dens and rumored hordes of buried treasure, and discover a mysterious local ghost story that's as elegantly spooky as any in England.
Then it's into the heart of the historic business district, where early Angelenoes go toppling into open sewers, toss bottles of acid at former lovers, torment their dentists, attempt to speak to the dead, find severed limbs in their backyards and spit tobacco juice on the backs of ladies' ball gowns.
Passengers on this eye-opening, funny and informative tour will never look at downtown in the same way again! It is highly recommended for loft dwellers, crime and history buffs and anyone who likes to seek out the unexpected.
