Hotel ValDemar

606 South Hope Street

Originally opening in 1919, the Hotel ValDemar (sometimes spelled as Val De Mar) would serve as a rooming house and hotel along with retail storefronts before being demolished in 1955 to make way for the new Lincoln Savings headquarters (later the site of the current Library Court building).

Only took me about 50hrs. Thanks gtaserisevideos

I think he was quite an interesting character Rockstar has made. He was domineering, controlling and haughty during his time in the war his arrogance was bad to the point where his whole team were practially cheering when Courtney ended up gut shooting him out of impulse and disgust by not doing anything and help Jack cover for him without a second thought. but his mistakes in the war messed him up really bad as well as gave him a huge reality check became much more compassionate and empathetic even after returning home he still had that insatiable hunger for glory the only difference was that he was trying to be kinder about it and make the right decisions this time and My verdict: Cole is not a bad man but he’s not that much of a good one either he’s just a deeply flawed war veteran who wants to be better and learn from his mistakes.

As a Lieutenant in the U.S Marine Corps 6th Marine divison (don’t belive exact regiment is mentioned) during the battle of Okinawa he would be entitled to the following from highest to lowest
Silver Star (mentioned in game)
Presidential Unit Citation (Sixth Marine Division earned it at Okinawa)
American campaign medal (universal award for spending at minimum one year on U.S soil)
Asiatic–Pacific Campaign Medal (with one bronze star for the Okinawa campaign)
And then the ww2 victory medal which is self explanatory.

Yes i know its not the first case alright. But I honestly dont know how that happened. Several missclicks took place

So lately, I've been in a massive L.A. Noire mood and been doing research for different things, but today I found something I thought was kinda interesting.

You can see in the photos a thing from the Rockstar website back in 2011 discussing the Homicide Desk.

The reason I'm posting this is because... Roy Earle is in that last picture. It just caught my eye cause the picture gives off the vibe he's your partner in Homicie [which he obviously isn't], but they have Rusty in a different one.

I know this may not be interesting to anyone else, and honestly, it's a pointless post. But I noticed it and just wanted to share it.

What do you all think about it? Is it maybe possible that Roy was at one point considered to be your partner in Homicide? [Also its been a while since I've played the case, so if he appears at all let me know]

Genuinely one of the best story missions I have ever played in any video game, everything was just so perfect.

Definitely Cole Phelps best performance as a detective, the guy just knew everything and planned it to perfection, not telling Heather about Julia passing away until after he asked her the questions was genius, and letting Henry walk out the integration room just to follow him to the pawn shop is again just genius.

Meeting back up with Bekowsky** and **Rusty was pretty wholesome too, along with Roy it was like all the Avengers were together working on one big case.

All together this case is one of the reasons I am into La Noire and you can definitely tell the developers put everything they had into it, and I also believe it’s the longest case too, pretty much like a mini movie.

If this case had a IMDB rating it would be a 10/10 without a doubt.

Hotel Ritz

813 South Flower Street

The Hotel Ritz, the work of noted Los Angeles architects Curlett and Beelman and opening in 1923, is considered an excellent example of Renaissance Revival commercial architecture in Downtown Los Angeles. Due to a street widening in 1930, architects moved the hotel’s front facade in by five feet.
