Los Angeles's Bunker Hill: Pulp Fiction's Mean Streets and Film Noir's Ground Zero! - Jim Dawson

When postwar movie directors went looking for a gritty location to shoot their psychological crime thrillers, they found Bunker Hill, a neighborhood of fading Victorians, flophouses, tough bars, stairways and dark alleys in downtown Los Angeles.

Wicked Sacramento - William Burg

Wicked Sacramento - William Burg

In the early 1900s, Sacramento became a battleground in a statewide struggle. On one side were Progressive political reformers and suffragettes.
