The Magic of Los Angeles: Why I Can't Stop Telling Its Stories | Houdini, Hollywood Sign, Biltmore

Why do I spend so much time exploring Los Angeles? Because every neighborhood, every street, and every historic building has a story to tell. From the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory to Downtown Los Angeles, Olvera Street, the Roosevelt Hotel, and the Hollywood Heritage Museum, this city is built on layers of history: stories of dreamers, innovators, triumphs, tragedies, and the people who helped shape Hollywood and America. In this video, I take in the view from high above Los Angeles and share why I'm so passionate about documenting the city's history, filming locations, haunted places, and forgotten landmarks before they're gone. Los Angeles is constantly reinventing itself, but its past is never far away.
