In honor of the dedication of John Fante Square and the author’s 101st birthday, Esotouric and On Bunker Hill have created a digital map to a selection of Downtown locations that played a significant role in Fante’s life and work, and can be easily visited on foot. To explore the annotated map of Fante-related locations, including locations from “Ask The Dust” and the little known last remaining stone retaining wall from old Bunker Hill, visit the link below http://johnfantesdowntown.notlong.com

2024 update: Please note that we’ve lost the ability to log into this map, so this self guided walk is a time capsule with some out of date information. But as you stand before the storefront that was Caravan Book Store, you can visit what used to be in immersive 3-D here.
