About this listen

In 1927, the Cecil Hotel was constructed as a million-dollar modern marvel in the heart of Los Angeles, California. It was meant to appeal to the middle-class business traveler, but soon after it opened its doors to the public, something sinister began to take hold. The Great Depression, brought on by the stock market collapse, sent the area into a tailspin, and the Cecil Hotel paid the ultimate price. Plauged by rapes, murders and suicides, and surrounded by one of Americas most notorious neighborhoods gifted the Cecil Hotel with a rough reputation. Grab your poisons and join us as we discuss the dark history of one of our nation's most vile hot spots, the Cecil Hotel.
