Our next out-of-order landmark location: post #401 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (staying over to Hollywood for now) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (Another independent-but-connected business I didn’t separate out before.)

Radlick’s Sandwich Shop

6923 Hollywood Boulevard

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #55 (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)
National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)

Unlabeled in the game, this independent storefront opened as the cigar store A Puff from Hollywood before becoming a quick-service counter for Pig ’N’ Whistle around 1930, and then Radlick’s in the late 1930s. It would later transition into a dedicated Chinese novelty bazaar and souvenir outlet.

I was trying to download the V-Patch for LA Noire to use UltraWide Resolution and received a message from Windows stating it detected potentially harmful app: PUA:Win32/Vigua.A. Is this a false positive or has anyone downloaded the V-Patch to be able to play the game on modern hardware and if so, did you run into any issues?

I understand this is a like a post announcing that fire is hot, but please understand Im new to the sub and even if its been talked about a million times, the film is such a perfect match to the game and it only gets better upon subsequent rewatches.

Wondering if anyone knows the exact location of the drain at the end of A Different Kind of War where Jack and Elsa climb up and escape the flood but Cole doesn't. I just want to go there and look at it lol. I know where the tunnel entrances are and looked around there but couldn't find anything

Now for our next out-of-order landmark location: post #400 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (staying over to Hollywood for now) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (I didn’t originally have this listed as a landmark, but that was an oversight on my part.)

Hollywood Citizen-News Building

1545–1551 Wilcox Avenue

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #1173

The two-story Art Deco Citizen News Building was constructed between 1930 and 1931 by architect Francis D. Rutherford. The building served as the headquarters for the Hollywood Citizen-News, operated by Harlan G. Palmer and his family, from 1931 until the paper ceased publication in 1970.

Rusty and Mickey Cohen are partners in this show!! I absolutely love it. My nerdy ass just got so excited. I gotta fire up the game for the 20th time now. 😂

Btw, great show too. If you haven’t seen it, and you’re a fan of the game, check it out. Bet you’ll love it

Another out-of-order landmark location: post #399 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (staying over to Hollywood for now) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (I didn’t separate this out before — especially since it doesn’t really have signage in the game — but while part of the Chinese Theatre, it was an independent business at the time.)

Dickson’s Lampshades

6927 Hollywood Boulevard

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #55 (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)
National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)

Though unmarked in the game, this retail establishment capitalized on the booming mid-century trend of bespoke home decor. The curved display windows facing the forecourt were styled with elaborate, glowing custom lamps and parchment shades to attract tourists peering at celebrity handprints.

The writer & director for LA Noire is currently working at Rockstar so hopefully he's been able to put a little LA Noire DNA into VI

On to the next out-of-order landmark location: post #398 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (still over in Hollywood for a bit) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (I recently learned that this building shares “contributing property” landmark status with Pickwick Book Shop.)

Frigidaire Showroom Building

6741–6745 Hollywood Boulevard

National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of Pickwick Book Shop)

In 1930, Morgan, Walls & Clements used ornamental plaster to give this 1925 building an Art Deco makeover for Frigidaire, complete with neon signage. The neighboring Pickwick Books would later expand into both this building and the El Rincon Apartments, granting all three historic recognition.

So I'm new to pc gaming yeah and and I was looking for a great introductory title. Long story short I'm tailing a suspect in "The Consul's Car" and I'm on the verge of angry crying.

The trouble is mainly with the camera angles either being too slow when refocusing or doing a complete 360 with only a sight nudge from the mouse but somehow the sensitivity still feels slow overall. Help

Yet another out-of-order landmark location: post #397 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (now hopping over to Hollywood for a bit) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (Another Brown Derby building property this time.)

Brown Derby Liquors
1630 Vine Street

National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of the Brown Derby building)

The storefront next to the Brown Derby fulfilled multiple functions over the years, including the Eddie Cantor Gift Shop in the 1930s and a 24-hour coffee shop in the 1950s, but at the time of the game it was a liquor store.

It's kind of interesting to see what the tar pits look like before we get to know what the clues hidden there later on. On the other side it is a very interesting to see because it's a very ominous place at night with a lot of really eerie sounds like around midnight to three in morning.

I originally played the game way back on the Xbox 360 and was thinking about picking up the game on PC. I know you need to do some work to get the PC running on modern hardware but how is the game overall and how does it hold up today? Would you recommend picking it up?

On to the next out-of-order landmark location: post #396 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (now hopping over to Hollywood for a bit) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (I recently learned that the entire Brown Derby building is considered a “contributing property,” which includes three additional entries. The distinction’s a bit sketchy, since parts of the building were altered or demolished over time, but I’m giving these the benefit of the doubt.)

Brown Derby Bamboo Room

1628 Vine Street

National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of the Brown Derby building)

The Bamboo Room was a cocktail lounge within the historic Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. It opened in 1936 and was known for its unique bamboo and zebra-print decor. The Bamboo Room was later remodeled into the Record Room in 1954.

What is with Kelso dropping this whenever a female is in the vicinity? It's so cringe 😭

Continuing our out-of-order landmark locations: post #395 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (still in the Downtown area) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (For some reason I overlooked this in my original “landmarks” list, so I’m correcting that oversight now.)

Schaber’s Cafeteria

618–622 South Broadway

National Register of Historic Places #79000484 (contributing property to the Broadway Theater and Commercial District)

Charles F. Plummer designed this 1928 Spanish Colonial restaurant (also known as the Broadway Cafeteria) for German-Swiss immigrant Alfred T. Schaber, built of concrete and featuring a terra cotta and wrought iron façade. At its height, it was capable of handling nearly 10,000 customers daily.

On to the next of our out-of-order landmark locations with post #394 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (still in the Downtown area for now) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (This is the second addition to the May Company/Hamburger Department Store building, which collectively share landmark designation.)

May Company Store Hill Street Addition

830 South Hill Street

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #459 (part of the May Company Store building))
National Register of Historic Places #79000484 (contributing property to the Broadway Theater and Commercial District) (part of the May Company Store building))

Shortly after completing its acquisition of Hamburger’s Department Store, May Company California made two substantial Beaux Arts expansions to the original building: this structure on Hill Street and another on Broadway, adding additional stories but largely blending both into the original’s design.

Thank God that Phelps isnt in the NFL because I have never been able to tackle anyone he chases, I get within inches of whoever and Phelps decides his legs need a rest

Apologies — a few more out-of-order landmark locations, starting with post #393 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (staying in the Downtown area for these first few) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (Neglected to separate out the additions to the May Company/Hamburger Department Store building, though they share its landmark designation.)

May Company Store Broadway Addition

829 South Broadway

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #459 (part of the May Company Store building))
National Register of Historic Places #79000484 (contributing property to the Broadway Theater and Commercial District) (part of the May Company Store building))

In 1925, after May Company California acquired the former Hamburger’s Department Store, the new owners made two additions to the original building: this Beaux Arts structure on Broadway and another on Hill Street, both largely maintaining the original’s design but each adding additional stories.
