My latest pieces about the Cherokee Building in Hollywood – home of gangster hang out, celeb dive and haunted bar “Boardner’s” http://www.laweekly.com/arts/hollywood-boulevards-cherokee-building-home-of-boardners-turns-90-this-year-8355652 and also the Scottish Rite Temple in Los Angeles – a fascinating history and yes, it’s the Masons! https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/a-masonic-temple-with-an-eccentric-history-re-opens-as-a-contemporary-art-museum
