AROUND CAMPUS

The exhibit includes a one-day, self-guided architectural tour of Wilshire Blvd. from downtown to the beach, accessible by car or Metro, and accompanied by a trilingual guidebook (in English, Korean, and Spanish) on Oct. 2. At least six sites will be open for docent-led tours, representing different eras, architects, and icons of the boulevard. The tour will be accompanied by a guidebook, covering downtown to the beach. Stops with docent-led tours will include the Bullocks Wilshire building, the Elks Club, the Wilshire Boulevard Temple, Johnie’s Coffee Shop, the Spanish Colonial Revival Miles Playhouse, and the oldest building on Wilshire Boulevard, the Victorian-styled Wadsworth Chapel.

Other exhibit features of the project include a kid’s activity guidebook, family-friendly activities, and online resources for teachers and families to use the city as a fun learning environment; a permanent website where visitors can create individualized tours of Wilshire, contribute personal stories (or read those of others), and retrieve historical material (available Oct. 2); a series of exciting events presented in conjunction with local cultural, community, and educational organizations, to take place along and about Wilshire Boulevard from Oct. 2 to Nov. 21; and bus "advertisements" that offer historical images and information about several of the architectural gems one can see along the Wilshire route, similar to the labels accompanying objects in a museum. For more details on all of the diverse Curating the City events, visit the Conservancy’s website.
