If walls could talk, what stories would they choose to share, and which would they decide to sweep under the rug? We may never know exactly what happened in abandoned locations, but luckily, we do have some historical records and vivid imaginations to piece together our own recollection of what may have once been. Whether it is fact or myth, all buildings have an intriguing history worthy of exploring and sharing, even those falling apart to the elements of neglect.

Take a journey through the mysterious past of Los Angeles County to rediscover the beauty of its forgotten places. Author Kimberly Landmark has over 150 photographs taken across Los Angeles County, as well as history and myths involving most locations. With over thirty locations photographed, the stories are endless, and each brick that built this city will forever hold memories of what once was. Through this book, she hopes to inspire people to look further and dive deeper into things they may usually overlook and to rediscover the beauty in places that surround us every day.
