Also check out the grand vintage movie theaters that are still in operation: The Orpheum, El Capitan, The Egyptian, Grauman%26#39;s Chinese, Cinerama Dome, and Mann Westwood.

After staring at Gehry%26#39;s Disney Center downtown, you might want to walk down First Street to the L.A. Times Building, and then head down Broadway. A lot of great old buildings.

The Bradbury Building is in the vicinity (it was used as an interior set for BladeRunner), but I don%26#39;t recall the address.

L.A. Central Library might be included in the downtown tour.

The Getty Museum

See what kinds of tours the Conservancy has going on..

Hi Ninja:

Two things... while I haven%26#39;t taken it, I hear there%26#39;s a $65 dollar architectural tour per person in a %26#39;62 cadillac that does the Wright, Nutra Gehry buildings. You might want to google it. Sounds like a blast to me.

Also, if you%26#39;re going to be downtown, don%26#39;t miss the new Caltrans building!
