Urban Expeditions : That’s Entertainment! Downtown L.A.


That’s Entertainment! Downtown L.A. : NYC Eat your apple and choke

Critics agree; Urban Expeditions is “Visually stunning”. “Show stopping performances!” “The ride of your life!”

This
month’s Urban Expeditions’ episode, “That’s Entertainment! Downtown
L.A.”, is a tautly wound drama starring Downtown Los Angeles. It airs
Saturday, Sept 20th, at 1:00PM at Union Station in Downtown L.A.--don’t
miss a moment of it.

Downtown L.A. is haggard,
gritty and desperate for a comeback. Can she reclaim her place as the
queen of L.A., or is she destined to be just another forgotten
has-been? From Hollywood film premiers, to famous entertainers who
played there, Downtown L.A. played grand hostess to any star-studded
event worth its weight in marble and gold leaf.

Take
an intimate look inside the life of Downtown’s Theater District and her
storied past. Flash back to an era of limitless possibilities and an
endless parade of stars. Before there was Hollywood, there was Downtown.

What
got Charlie Chaplin hot under the collar at the Los Angeles theater?
Why was Duke Ellington receiving death threats at the Mayan? From her
rise to fame, to her humiliating flops, you’ll fall in love with
Downtown’s indomitable spirit.
