The three minute, 20 second tracking shot with which Orson Welles opened "Touch of Evil" was filmed right here on Windward Avenue. As the dynamite-rigged death car makes a right turn onto Ocean Front Walk, Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh enter from the right of the screen, walking north, parallel with the car.

  • The most overhyped tourist trap in LA. If I were a tourist I'd be deeply disappointed. Super dirty and full of junkies, not to mention the swap meet atmosphere. I used to ride my bike through the boardwalk at night for exercise and there were always some shady character jumping out around you.
  • I don’t want this isolation
