No it sure never ends. btw, your username has Los Angeles, yesterday I was checking out some of my old stomping grounds of LA. Los Angeles theatre, Cliftons cafeteria, Bradbury building, etc. so many great places. Oh yeah, I have to mention the mansion on the grounds of Mount St.Marys where I had an escorted tour from one of the nuns there.

@JonLosAngeles66 Really? that story was a real disaster. The inside of the main house was such a design of beauty yet somehow bizarre at the same time. Mrs. Doheny had the gilded glass dome of the ballroom re-constructed piece by piece from (I think) was the Seattle Worlds fair. The various wood paneling and art deco mossiac stained glass etc. so excessive yet so beautiful. The church she had built next door was totally remodeled three times as she couldn't make up her mind.
The nuns name was "Sister Rose Margaret" we painted various interiors of other houses on the property and since she was unable to pay us for the work sister gave us car loads of original costumes given to the nuns by MGM studio's. I ended-up with quite a valuable collection as a result.

@Grateful4you oh wow. Most people ignore Mount St Mary’s and focus on the more famous USC.

@JonLosAngeles66 I know what you mean. Those walls could tell some very tawdry stories, the murder of gay lovers and that's just for starters. lol
