    Where's Batman? Doesn't this building look like it belongs in Gotham? I've always felt unsure whether Gotham was supposed to be NYC or Chicago, but I have seen places in Chicago that look like it. Several of your postings have enriched my awareness of the variety of architecture in L.A.

    I believe Gotham is supposed to be Chicago and Metropolis is supposed to be NY.

    Feels right to me, but I'm no comic book expert. Thank you for showing me the Gothic side of Cali.

    I've seen photographs of the interior but I didn't have a chance to go inside. Perhaps on a future visit.
