Within five minutes of our place here in Los Feliz is the John Sowden House. Built in 1926 by Frank Lloyd Wright's eldest son, Lloyd, it was used as 'Ava Gardner's house' in the Scorsese film, The Aviator. In the 1940s it was owned by Dr Charles Hodel who, according to one theory (well, that of his son who wrote a book about it) was the Black Dahlia's murderer.
Such is the storied landscape we live in now. The streets and houses have film references. A walk within coo-ee of home is a film buff's adventure.
Turning left into North Kingsley you come across this apartment block which is supposed to be where Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) lives in Double Indemnity.

'Drop me at the corner of Franklin and Vermont', says Lola Dietrichson
to Neff. And we got excited because that's where we catch the 181. But
in fact, the corner she got dropped off at is Hollywood and Western,
also a stone's throw away.
And then, for something completely different, there's this.
In Australia you're not often reminded of the Dakotas.
