A section of East Hollywood is designated as America’s first and only Thai Town. So many ethnic Thais live in Los Angeles (roughly 80,000), that the city is sometimes referred to as Thailand’s 77th province. The Petersen Automotive Museum, one of the world's largest automotive museums, opens on Museum Row at the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire.
Hollywood Wax Museum
House of Wax is admirable as one of the few movies - and even fewer horror movies - to feature an interracial couple without mention of race. Nick makes his way upstairs and holds Vincent's knife on him allowing Carly to stab him in the back. Vincent then falls through the floor and lands on top of his dead brother.The place is now in flames and melting fast. Carly and Nick then resort to digging their way out of a wall and escape the melted wax building.
This movie is featured in the following articles.
The cuts received by the stranger when they were in the bathroom are stitched up. Back at the gas station they are reintroduced to Bo, whom they met at the church. Bo informs them there are no 15 inch fanbelts at the gas station, however there are some at his house. Meanwhile, at Ambrose, Carly and Wade upon reaching the town look for a gas station along with an attendant who does not seem to be at his shop. The group soon depart and are soon convinced by a complaining Paige to pull in and set up camp in the local area.
House of Wax (2005 film)
The 3.1 million square-foot stadium is the largest in the NFL, as well as the first indoor-outdoor stadium to be constructed. "Go for Broke" was the motto of the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most decorated unit in the history of American warfare. Members of the 442nd received over 18,000 awards in less than two years, including 21 Medals of Honor.
It was later moved to Paramount’s current location along Melrose and Gower Aves (still in Hollywood) but eventually the building became a women’s gym and was used for storage. One of the services offered by their funeral home is live worldwide webcasts of funeral services so those not in attendance can view on their computers anywhere in the world. What is nice about this cemetery is the grave-sites and the funeral home are located in the same place (no processions through the busy streets).
Historical Timeline of Los Angeles
Some of this studios have been recreated (room for redheads only – used by Lucille Ball and blondes only – used by Marilyn Monroe). The general public can enter the Observatory and view all of its exhibits without having reservations or paying any fees. There are excellent views of the Los Angeles Basin on clear days, and the Hollywood Hills (including the Hollywood Sign) from the side of North Vermont and East Observatory Roads.

As with other Hollywood buildings in this part of town, this building’s history is worth mentioning. It opened in 1913 as a silent movie theater – it is the second oldest theater building in Hollywood. The 13-story United Artists Building is built in Downtown LA and is home to the flagship movie theatre of United Artists. Today the site houses the Ace Hotel and the 1,600-seat Theatre at Ace. RELEASED IN 2005 and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, "House of Wax" is a horror/slasher about six college students (4 dudes and 2 gals) who drive from Gainesville to Baton Rouge to attend a crucial football game. They end up camping in the woods somewhere off I-10 where some of the party discovers a mysterious town in the sticks that has a curious House of Wax.

The architect used “soft glass” so that when you walk on the outside of this room the windows instantaneously turns fuzzy and you cannot make out the features of those inside. However at certain angles you can see who is inside; this was done so those outside of the VIP room have at least a glimpse of who is inside there, but at the same time gives the celebs their privacy. Be sure to check out a real Oscar award on display in the VIP room.

This hotel also boasts an excellent spa, a rooftop pool on the 5th floor (often frequented by beautiful bronzed bodies) and deluxe suites on the upper most stories. World class shopping and restaurants as well as a number of Hollywood’s most famous sites are well within walking distance of Loews. Sara Copping, the executive director of the Visit Buena Park tourist bureau, often gets calls asking if the museum is open or what its hours are. The sign may represent a treasured part of history for locals, but those from outside the neighborhood are often confused about the lack of a wax museum under it. No citizens prowl the streets, although some seem to be attending a funeral. Had Wade and Carly only seen the 1953 Vincent Price thriller, they might have saved themselves, but no.
Sometimes, they’ve even brought their children with them, only to find the museum is long closed. On a recent warm afternoon, Mario Orozco, a retired Buena Park resident, sat at the Starbucks below the sign and recalled his days visiting the museum as a child. Back then, he said, the opportunity to see celebrity likenesses up close was a rare treat. And that massive sign broadcast the message that something special resided beneath it. Wax figures and sets featuring replicas of celebrities continue to change regularly.
As a result this building is very Egyptian looking from hieroglyphics on the outside walls to statues and large columns. This theatre is set well back off of Hollywood Blvd so it sometimes can be easy to miss – the open courtyard is an excellent place to take photos. It is right next door to the historic Pig’n Whistle Restaurant and nearby the Ripley and Guinness museums. Its always a big hoopla and red carpet event when an actor/actress puts their handprint in the concrete here.
