Hyperion question

[indri]

Do we know in which part of Los Angeles the Hyperion is? Or would anyone care to guess?

Thanks in advance.

Edited to add: Actually, would anyone familiar with LA be willing to beta sometime soon? Just for geographical plausibility, if you prefer.

I think it's meant to be Downtown, but I have no idea why I think that and it may well turn out to be a matter of fanon rather than canon. Which, er, probably doesn't help you...

gwynnega is in LA, I believe. Or close enough to know stuff.

Quoting a spikewriter post on the subject I saved for just such occasions:

>> Did anybody get the address of Wolfram and Hart from the envelope shown in the first scene there? <<

1121 Spring Street, Los Angeles. Not surprisingly, the address doesn't exist. There is an 1121 N. Spring Street, which is smack dab in the middle of the railroad track junctions north of downtown. Spring Street and Main Street merge at Ninth, with Main Street as the continuing street. 1121 S. Main Street would be on the fringes of the garment district and one block away from the Los Angeles Examiner Building, home of the now-defunct Herald Examiner, a beautiful mission-style building designed by Architect Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst. It's also two blocks away from the United Artists Theatre, the picture palace financed in 1927 by Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin as the flagship for their
studio. If Spike or Angel were in LA during the late twenties, early
thirties, they very likely might have seen a movie there. It now houses a church, but this has allowed the grand Spanish Gothic style to remain reasonably intact. The rest of the theatre initially housed offices for Texaco, but now have a variety of grimy little businesses, many importers of cheap clothing.

Given the view they're showing from the windows, it looks like they're either actually on Bunker Hill or just outside downtown proper on Wilshire Blvd.

Try this site - it has the address of the landmark apartment building used as the outside location of the Hyperion.
