LA is larger than life. A cinematic sprawling mash of chic and down and out, a rolling hilled gem, a jam packed pocket of 4 million dreamers who moved here for an LA that was promised to change their lives. And maybe it did. In this Cerca Guide, J.J Duncan takes us out for many dinners, we head out on an epic road trip, and she tells us some dark tales that make this sunny city a little knowable but also a little more mysterious. This is the Los Angeles you don’t see on the screen.
And there's even more in the Cerca app - bonus content, maps, and info on the points of interest mentioned in our episodes. Listen, become inspired and plan all without worrying about having to hit pause and take notes - because the info you need is waiting for you in the Cerca App.
Whether you're planning a trip to LA in the near future, are already there, or just want to learn about a place we love, you're in the right place. This is what we do.
Let's go to Los Angeles!

Like the people who populate this city - the crimes that happen here seem fit for the big screen. In a place full of cameras, paparazzi, and superstars - it makes sense. If you take a survey of the most infamous and well-known crimes and trials of the century - the ones seared into your memory like that nondescript condo entrance - a considerable handful of them are a product of the City of Angels.
In Part One, we’ll dive back into LA before television, to a murder that changed the city - the murder of the Black Dahlia. Then we’ll jump forward to the far-out 60s to when a very different kind of story took what LA was and turned it upside down - the murders of Charles Manson and the Manson Family.
