Geocache Description:

One of the "Trouble in Tinseltown" series of caches
providing you with a glimpse of Hollywood's history.

Photobucket The Alto Nido Apartments


In the 1950 classic film noir "Sunset Boulevard" William Holden's character, Joe Gillis, lived in a simple Hollywood apartment building, before he made the mistake of moving into the dreary Sunset Boulevard mansion of fading screen star, Norma Desmond. That apartment building is actually the Alto-Nido apartments, and it can still be found at 1851 N. Ivar Street.

This apartment building is also supposedly one of the places Elizabeth Short, "The Black Dahlia", lived before her brutal murder. Hence, it was used in the 2006 movie, "The Black Dahlia".

I very much wanted to showcase this classic Hollywood buildings, but I was limited in cache hiding places that were either safe from muggles or safe from sending you to questionable locations off the sidewalk. Hopefully you will enjoy the location and forgive me for the placement.
