SUMMARY:Esotouric Presents “Black Dahlia Days: Sleuthing out Beth Short’s Southern California” Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This is a recording of a webinar that previously streamed live. You can purchase a ticket to watch the recording\, but you won’t be able to participate in the live chat or Q&A. Join us on Saturdays at noon Los Angeles time for a new live webinar. \n\n \nTo sign up\, enter your name and email address and click the “Buy Ticket” button below. If for any reason the check out page doesn’t appear\, just click this link. \nJoin Esotouric\, L.A.’s most eclectic sightseeing tour company\, as we take a time travel trip in the footsteps of Beth Short\, the victim in the still unsolved 1947 Black Dahlia murder. \nYour hosts Kim Cooper and Richard Schave\, and special guest Joan Renner\, are the hosts of the long-running The Real Black Dahlia tour\, acclaimed by the Los Angeles Times as “an L.A. classic.” Since it’s not currently possible to offer group tours\, we’re taking the storytelling online\, with a different take on Beth Short’s fluid and fascinating life story. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll tag along with three veteran true crime historians as they dig into the case that haunts them. We’ll introduce you to the basic beats of Beth Short’s narrative\, dispel some myths about the murder investigation and highlight the heartbreaking confluence of character and history that sealed the 22 year old drifter’s fate and ensured her immortality as a crime victim. \nWe’ll explore some of the time capsule locations that aren’t on the usual Real Black Dahlia tour route and share fascinating details from the investigation and archives. You’ll learn about Joan Renner’s curatorial work on the groundbreaking 2012 Los Angeles Police Museum exhibition\, “James Ellroy Presents ‘Elizabeth\,’” and see rare material from John Gilmore’s research files in UCLA Special Collections. Plus\, Joan will put on her cosmetics historian hat to provide rare insights into the psychology of Beth Short’s unusual make up choices. \nThis webinar is an illustrated lecture packed with original research\, photographs and archival material that will bring the Black Dahlia investigation and Beth Short’s story to life on your digital device. And you’ll find the look of an Esotouric webinar is a little different than your standard dry Zoom session\, with lively interactive graphics courtesy of the mmhmm app. \nAfter the presentation\, Kim\, Richard and Joan will answer your questions about the case and their work telling the stories of Los Angeles through the lens of true crime and historic preservation\, so get ready to be a part of the show. \nCan’t join in when the webinar is happening? You’ll have access to the full replay for one week. \nSo\, tune in and discover the incredible history of Los Angeles\, with the couple whose passion for the city is infectious. \nFYI: Immediately upon registering\, you will receive a separate\, automated email containing the link to join the webinar. The webinar is reliable on all devices\, Mac\, PC\, iOS and Android. \nPlease visit our FAQ for details about our webinars. \nAbout Esotouric: As undergraduates at UC Santa Cruz\, Kim Cooper and Richard Schave inexplicably hated one other on sight. (Perhaps less inexplicably\, their academic advisor believed they were soul mates). A chance meeting 18 years later proved much more agreeable. Richard wooed Kim with high level library database access\, with which she launched the 1947project true crime blog\, highlighting a crime a day from the year of The Black Dahlia and Bugsy Siegel slayings. The popular blog’s readers demanded a tour\, and then another. The tour was magical\, a hothouse inspiring new ways for the by-then-newlyweds to tell the story of Los Angeles. Esotouric was born in 2007 with a calendar packed with true crime\, literary\, architecture and rock and roll tours. Ever since\, it has provided a platform for promoting historic preservation issues (like the Save the 76 Ball campaign and the landmarking of Charles Bukowski’s bungalow)\, building a community of urban explorers (including dozens of free talks and tours under the umbrella of LAVA) and digging ever deeper into the secret heart of the city they love. \nAbout Joan Renner: Joan is a writer\, lecturer\, and a social historian with an expertise in historic Los Angeles crime. Follow her antics on her blog\, Deranged LA Crimes. \nRights and permissions: By attending an Esotouric webinar\, you acknowledge that the entirety of the presentation is copyrighted\, and no portion of the video or text may be reproduced in any fashion.

SUMMARY:Esotouric Takes You “Inside The Dutch Chocolate Shop” Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This is a recording of a webinar that previously streamed live. You can purchase a ticket to watch the recording\, but you won’t be able to participate in the live chat or Q&A. This recording will be available until Saturday\,  October 10th. Join us on Saturdays at noon Los Angeles time for a new live webinar. \n\n\n\n \nTo sign up\, enter your name and email address and click the “Buy Ticket” button above. If for any reason the check out page doesn’t appear\, just click this link. \nFYI: Immediately upon registering\, you will receive a separate\, automated email containing the link to join the webinar. The webinar is reliable on all devices\, Mac\, PC\, iOS and Android. \nPlease visit our FAQ for details about our webinars. \nJoin Esotouric\, L.A.‘s most eclectic sightseeing tour company as we take you behind an ugly metal grate to find something utterly magical in Downtown Los Angeles: Ernest Batchelder’s famed Dutch Chocolate Shop. \nYour hosts Kim Cooper and Richard Schave have a special relationship with the Dutch Chocolate Shop\, leading tour guests into the space for more than a decade\, and having been given special access by the owner to explore every inch of the building in search of clues to its rich cultural and architectural history. They also helped to bring a previously unknown tile mural\, removed from the building’s walls decades ago\, to the Pasadena Museum of History for inclusion in the 2017 exhibit “Batchelder: Tilemaker.” \nIn this webinar\, you’ll get to know the secrets and mysteries of this fascinating structure\, learn about the colorful characters who shaped it\, get close to the tile to discover some hidden details\, and to hear our hopes for the building’s future. \nLos Angeles in the 1910s was a young metropolis with a taste for spectacle\, a brand-new motion picture industry and a growing middle class hungry for excitement. Quinby and Petitfils’ cultured Chocolate Shop chain specialized in attractive dining rooms geared to the feminine shopping and after theater set—but Chocolate Shop #4 (1914) was special. \nHere the proprietors spent a small fortune commissioning architects Plummer and Feil to craft a fantastical Old World environment\, where elaborate medieval brick groin vaults framed a pre-modern Dutch village in three dimensional tile murals\, each huge scene fired in Batchelder’s Arroyo Seco backyard. A pair of life sized sculpted Dutch children blew illuminated soap bubbles\, and a wee tile windmill stood atop the soda fountain. The cool\, dark tile offered a respite from the blazing California sun\, and a fantasy environment in which to sample delicious treats with your pals. \nBut despite the success of the Chocolate Shop’s local dining rooms and a brisk souvenir trade in bon bons packed in signature decorated California redwood boxes\, the chain sputtered out in the mid 1920s. \nFuture owners couldn’t bring themselves to redecorate\, which is how this masterpiece of the Arts & Crafts style came to be home to an influential health food restaurant\, a beloved cafeteria\, and most recently a funky\, multi-vendor swap meet\, before emerging back into public consciousness as a decorative art masterpiece in an incredible moment during one of our Downtown tours. \nAnd did we mention the weird quack medical clinic on the top floor? \nThis webinar is an illustrated lecture packed with original photographs that will bring the Dutch Chocolate Shop and Ernest Batchelder’s Arroyo Seco tile studio to life on your digital device. And you’ll find the look of an Esotouric webinar is a little different than your standard dry Zoom session\, with lively interactive graphics courtesy of the mmhmm app. \nAfter the presentation\, Kim and Richard will answer your questions about the Dutch Chocolate Shop\, Batchelder tile\, Downtown Los Angeles and their passion for historic preservation\, so get ready to be a part of the show. \nCan’t join in when the webinar is happening? You’ll have access to the full replay for one week. \nSo\, tune in and discover the incredible history of Los Angeles\, with the couple whose passion for the city is infectious. \nAbout Esotouric: As undergraduates at UC Santa Cruz\, Kim Cooper and Richard Schave inexplicably hated one other on sight.
