Goodbye 11, Hello 12

Voyager Los Angeles welcomes you to 2012! But before we say goodbye to 2011, there are some updates and corrections to previous posts.

My 12/28 post about the closing of the Wilshire Grand said the Pope had been a guest there. Actually, his entourage stayed at the then-Hilton Hotel. He did eat there, and had his picture taken with many members of the kitchen staff.

An address in my Jim Morrison post on 12/19 is currently in the news, for an unfortunate reason. There has been a rash of fires being set in LA, mostly in Hollywood and West Hollywood. Morrison’s former house off of Laurel Canyon was targeted by the arsonist.

3 more days to skate on the ice rink at LA Live! (12/6)

I wish I could skate year round in LA!

And if you’re still checked into the Hotel California (10/10), please be aware the song is NOT about Satanism. Go to www.snopes.com for more info on this bizarre rumor.
