Infamous Crime Walk of the Valley

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/5/9/6/event_98630582.jpegDescription:

Meet at 5 PM, but leave at 5:10 PM. First we will start out at Vitello's Restaurant ( http://www.vitellosrestaurant.com/ ) in the Valley. This is the restaurant made infamous/famous by Robert Blake. The address is 4349 Tujunga Ave. in Studio City. http://www.vitellosrestaurant.com/ . Then we will walk 7 miles round trip to the site of the North Hollywood Shooting ( 6600 Laurel Canyon Blvd). Walk should take a little over 3 hours. We'll be back around 8 PM. Remember the bank shooting? Afterwards, we will return to Vitello's for an optional get together--if they have space for us. Leader will not be present for this. Sign up here to attend.

We'll also walk through the NoHo Arts District on Tujunga Ave.

Bring camera, water, hat, sneakers, etc.

Walk isn't recommended for beginners since it is long!

Note: There will be no lectures about the locations we'll visit. If you want to learn more about it, refer to links below.

This walk can be more dangerous than hiking since we'll be crossing streets! Cross the streets at your own discretion!
