emphasis on the somewhat. Looks like the dealers and gang bangers have taken over to me. Those skinny white boys probably wouldn't last long on that stroll in 2011. Well maybe Keith, if he had his guitar and money for a bag. lol
I love the way schliid laid out these photos though. Cool work. peace.
Even closer to the area where The Stones are seen walking on 5th Street is the Hard Rock Cafe, the back side of The Morrison Hotel album, at 5th Street and Wall Street. It's long gone apparently. Today it's a Green Market:

I've always wanted to visit these sights but I'll take your word on it that it is indeed unsafe. I guess security rules out walking around in Bel Air and high hedge rows prevent seeing much of anything. It would be tacky as well. I've looked up film locations for famous LA movies like Heat, LA Confidential, Training Day and countless others but likewise some areas are regarded as dodgy at best or very unsafe. I would love to drive a car through that cement LA River overflow area and chase another car, or be chased though. LOL!
Here's The Morrison Hotel 'then and now:'

Wouldn't advise a visit to those Exile locations in downtown LA today.
Downtown now is a mixture of fancy new skyscrapers (lawyer's offices predominate) and expensive hotels and, oh yes...a few blocks away hundreds of thousands of homeless and crackheads.

Sounds like most big cities, but I will take your advice. When I last visited downtown LA I see why no one goes there, like they do Chicago's Loop and Manhattan: there is nothing there.

This is sure an old thread... And I still like it.
I love this period of the Stones' music and history, and I found that bit of film by Robert Frank fascinating... so many Exile shots from this

I was just looking at Google Earth and Bing Maps for a closer look at the St Pierre rd. House where Mick lived and as I zoomed out you can see that only one thousand feet North East(?), to the upper right is the location of Sharon Tate's Cielo Drive home where we know what happened.
Although by that time Manson & Co. were on trial and perhaps near conviction, there were other unindicted Manson crazies still out on the loose. I wonder if Mick and Keith were aware of this at that time and did they take precautions?
Did Keith start carrying a blade then? A shot gun would have been very handy too!
Always bring a gun to a knife fight!
Did they have a copy of The White Album in the home?
You can go to you tube and see some of the unidicted crazy Manson Girls who were still on the loose in 1971 with shaved heads (and??) Knives singing the McCartney tune If You Want It Here It Is Come And Get It:
They should have fired their Real Estate Broker!

Along this line, where was the home where the Stones rehearsed for the 1969 tour? I know it was in Beverly Hills/Bel Air was it not?

LA is my turf. I was born and grew up here.
A few explanations re "walking tours." St. Pierre Road is in Bel Air, quite a few hillsides and canyons from the Cielo Drive house in BeverlyHills. Bel Air is real mansions, and I blieve this is where Bianca wished to stay.
You would find tight security in Bel Air and slightly less tight in Beverly Hills.
Walking essentially is not allowed.
The Laurel Canyon house that Stephen Stills owned circa 1969 and where the Stones did some rehearsing is in a much funkier area some 8 to 10 miles east off Sunset Blvd.
The Exile "locations" are another eight to ten miles east, and believe me the Stones would never venture to "the Mission district" near Main Street today. Dangerous and sad.
Sunset Sound was always so much fun to visit. It's near Sunset and Vine not far from the that very nice building that was the headquarters of RCA, where the Stones first visited LA. Now it's a film school of sorts. Most of the clubs the Stones liked to hang out in are long gone. There are at least 7 million more people in LA today than there were then. Traffic is mostly a nightmare.

Absolutely fantastic thread. The Frank footage blew me away when I first saw it a couple years ago. My favorite album, and the best album of all time.
The most famous Beatles street is located in an expensive area of London, the most famous Stones street is in a dirty, run down area of town. Somehow, that's appropriate.

In case you might have wondered, "morrison hotel, where Henry Diltz quickly shot the cover of the Doors album in 1970,is a mile or two away from the "Exile" area.

I drove around Bel Air looking for some of Elvis' homes the last time I was in LA. Yeah, security is tight, but no one stopped me to ask what I was doing. However I did get a sense that I was being watched at all times. When I return to LA in a couple days I plan on going back to the Bel Air area to see a couple of architectural wonders.
