#315: It’s Halloween! So we’re bringing you a slightly spooky episode today. Actually, whether you think it’s spooky really depends on how you feel about cemeteries —and Hollywood Forever Cemetery isn’t just any cemetery. Today, the Hollywood Forever is probably best known as the site of Cinespia’s popular outdoor movie screenings, which have been going on for more than 20 years, but the history of the cemetery itself goes back much further.

GUEST: Karie Bible, Hollywood Forever’s official tour guide

How to L.A. aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.
