C.I.C.L.E. "That's Entertainment" Ride September 9, 2008

This month’s Urban Expeditions’ episode, “That’s Entertainment! Downtown L.A.”, is a tautly wound drama starring Downtown Los Angeles. It airs Saturday, Sept 20th, at 1:00PM at Union Station in Downtown L.A.--don’t miss a moment of it.

Downtown L.A. is haggard, gritty and desperate for a comeback. Can she reclaim her place as the queen of L.A., or is she destined to be just another forgotten has-been? From Hollywood film premiers, to famous entertainers who played there, Downtown L.A. played grand hostess to any star-studded event worth its weight in marble and gold leaf.

Take an intimate look inside the life of Downtown’s Theater District and her storied past. Flash back to an era of limitless possibilities and an endless parade of stars. Before there was Hollywood, there was Downtown.
