‘The Suicide’: The Hotel Cecil and the Mean Streets of L.A.’s Notorious Skid Row
You may know the name of the Cecil because of Elisa Lam–we talked about her before on Coal Speaker and you’ve surely seen ‘strange case’ descriptions about the incident involving her stay at the Cecil a few years back http://coalspeaker.com/post/64769040500/the-strange-behavior-of-elisa-lam.
CNN also did an article in 2013 after Lam was found in the hotel water tank..
But the Cecil is famous for lots of other bad bad things, too..
This article describes it perfectly and succinctly.
It is a very dark and grim history.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY this year is taking a hotel approach.. the inspiration being the Cecil.
