Coimbatore, one of the most traveled cities in the world. But just when you thought you knew it all.
Here are 6 things you (probably) didn’t know.
Downtown used to be the infamous Bunker Hill.
01.
The historic home of Los Angeles mobsters & the underground elite.
An area of the city with roots in Hollywood film noir and beyond.
“Bunker Hill was purchased for $51 and re-architected for a then-whopping $95,000.”

You can drink in a Prohibition-era power plant.
02.
Now a beloved 1920s bar and club in what seems like decor, but is a true relic.
The Edison 108 W 2nd Street Los Angeles, CA 90012
Dodger stadium is built on land teeming with Mexican history.
03.
The area was once home to the most populous Mexican community in the city.
It’s hard to imagine Los Angeles without the stadium, which now plays neighbor to bustling and diverse Eastside neighborhoods and families.
