LOS ANGELES- On November 17, Esotouric, the eclectic bus adventure company
whose offbeat tours expose L.A.'s secret history, offers its infreqent and
popular Pasadena Confidential tour, a true crime bus adventure delving deep
into the weird and horrible past of one of L.A.'s most exclusive suburbs.
Making a special appearance on this tour: Crimebo the Crime Clown!
Continued after the jump ...
Crime fiends will enjoy a four-hour guided luxury coach tour to the darkest
recesses of Pasadena history. From celebrated cases like the RFK
assassination, "Eraserhead" star Jack Nance's strange end, black
magician/rocket scientist Jack Parsons' death-by-misadventure and the 1926
Rose Parade grand stand collapse, to fascinating obscurities, the tour's
multitude of murders, arsons, kidnappings, robberies, suicides, auto wrecks
and oddball happening sites provide a alternate history of Pasadena that's
as fascinating as it is creepy.
Crime Bus passengers will tour the old Millionaire's Row on Orange Grove,
thrill to the shocking Sphinx Murder on the steps of the downtown Masonic
Hall, wonder about the unknown fiend who sneaked past a little girl to
poison her father's beer, thrill to the misadventures of one very
poorly-behaved (but beautifully dressed!) chimpanzee and discover why people
named Judd should think twice before moving to Pasadena.
Riders on this eye-opening, funny and informative tour will forever see
Pasadena in a new light. It is highly recommended for natives and newcomers
alike, crime and history buffs and anyone who likes to seek out the
unexpected.
