As the brand expands, it is seeking qualified, experienced, and passionate restaurant operators and franchise groups to develop the concept in key markets. They are very busy but that just means the food is really good. Because of this, expect a wait time. They created a nice vibe and the location is in a good spot with lots of parking available.

Chick-fil-A is also expanding by bulldozing several Columbus-area restaurants to make room for new locations. The chain is planning to demolish a Buca di Beppo in Worthington after purchasing the site for $2.5 million earlier this month. The hot chicken chain is one of several fast-casual chicken eateries expanding in central Ohio, like Bojangles, which is moving forward with plans to build a location in Delaware. The restaurant would mark the chain’s third central Ohio restaurant after the first opened in Hilliard and the second in Heath. To get the deal, customers just need to scan their Dave’s Hot Chicken app at the register.

Cauli Dave's #3: 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider w/ Fries

Today, the fast-casual brand has its sights set on growing throughout the United States and currently has more than 400 units committed since announcing the franchise initiative in 2019. Cauliflower Sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce & all Cauli Tenders are served with sliced bread, pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. Other central Ohio chicken eateries include a chain founded by Hall of Fame basketball star Shaquille O’Neal that is planning to open more than 35 restaurants in Ohio, beginning in Columbus. Slim Chickens is planning to open as many as 25 locations in Ohio, while Hot Chicken Takeover has recently opened several new restaurants. What began as a pursuit by four friends to create the perfect hot chicken in a parking lot in East Hollywood became almost an overnight success.

Nashville-style chicken chain will open another Charlotte-area restaurant.

Monday through Thursday, with extended hours until midnight on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant will close at 10 p.m. To learn more about Dave’s Hot Chicken and its franchise opportunities, visit /franchising. Customer service was so-so and the food is a little more expensive than it should be, to be honest.

Hot Box Roulette- Tenders

This Friday, Charlotte residents will finally have the opportunity to chow down on the famous hot chicken recipe, and those who dare can try their signature "reaper" sauce at the grand opening. For the latest breaking news, weather and traffic alerts, download the WCNC Charlotte mobile app. I visited this place on-a-whim; I was looking for something quick and easy to eat. The simplicity of the menu is astounding! You either came here for fried chicken on a bun with a side of fries, or you can get the f-out! The entire staff was attentive and courteous.

Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries

The indoor seating is limited and packed, but they do have a lot of outdoor seating. Overall, the food is great and worth trying. Founded by classically-trained chef Dave Kopushyan and three friends in early 2017, Dave’s Hot Chicken initially opened as a parking lot pop-up, with lines quickly wrapping around the block. Since then, the brand has exploded in popularity and now has 21 locations in the United States and Canada.

Sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce & all tenders are served with sliced bread, pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. Great hot chicken that doesn't require you to travel to Nashville. My family and I were craving some hot chicken and found this great place in Charlotte. We ordered the mild single slider that came with fries and a drink.

And lastly, someone who can recognise those with the potential and desire to be a bigger part of the company and guide them with a roadmap to their success as well as ours.

The mild was not hot at all and I wished I had got the hot or hotter for the spice level, and flavor. The chicken slider was delicious and I wish the portion was bigger because it tasted that good! Also enjoyed the sauce they gave and wished there were more fries.

In a modern-day American dream story, Arman Oganesyan and best friend Chef Dave Kopushyan, along with brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan, launched Dave’s Hot Chicken in a parking lot pop-up in 2017. Dave’s Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in East Hollywood. In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, and movie producer John Davis to begin franchising the Dave’s Hot Chicken concept throughout the U.S. and beyond. The company has sold the rights to over 400 franchise locations in the U.S. and Canada and will open an additional 30 to 40 locations this year.

Today, Dave's Hot Chicken has location across the U.S. as well as in Canada. The company started in a parking lot in East Hollywood, according to its website. Four friends started with just $900 and a vision for serving simple chicken sandwiches. Buzz quickly grew on Instagram, leading to some of LA's best food critics giving it a shot. From there, Dave's Hot Chicken became a cult favorite before expanding in California and nationwide.

The House Bunny is a 2008 American comedy film directed by Fred Wolf, written by the writing team of Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and produced by Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo, Anna Faris, Allen Covert, and Heather Parry. The film stars Faris, Colin Hanks, and Emma Stone, and tells the story of a former Playboy bunny who signs up to be the "house mother" of an unpopular university sorority after finding out she must leave the Playboy Mansion. Phi Iota Mu intercepts the invitations and prevents them from being mailed out, so the Zetas are again in danger of being shut down at the campus meeting of the Panhellenic Council. Shelley crashes the meeting and gives a heartfelt speech about what her experience with the Zetas has taught her about love and acceptance and asks for pledges on the spot; gradually 30 students agree to pledge, and the sorority is saved. Oliver and Shelley reconcile, and Shelley explains that she likes Oliver a lot and was trying too hard to impress him.

The second date is also a disaster because she wears glasses that are not meant for her, and brings along notecards to help her sound smart.

The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 19, 2008.[16] It was also released in a 6-movie collection called The Laugh Out Loud Collection with other Happy Madison films in 2013. During her time with the Zetas, Shelley meets and becomes attracted to an intellectual, altruistic guy named Oliver, who works at a retirement home. She uses seductive tactics that work with other guys, but they fail because Oliver actually wants to get to know Shelley rather than just hook up with her. To impress Oliver on their second date, Shelley starts attending classes and reading books, and tones down her appearance.

They decide to start over with their relationship and Oliver is looking forward to getting to know the "real" Shelley. The Zetas then feel guilty and decide to give themselves a second makeover, this time being "Half-Shelley and Half-Themselves". They also decide to draw the pledges out at random instead of judging them for their looks and popularity. They show up at Shelley's photo shoot and ask for her to come back, to which she agrees, having changed her mind about her dream of being a centerfold.

Having gotten a makeover and lessons on how to attract guys and be popular, the Zetas throw a party, which is a huge success. Lilly, a British Zeta sister with social anxiety, says their new popularity has made them conceited and forget the true value of sisterhood. When they realize what they have become, they blame Shelley—just as she returns from her unsuccessful date. Shelley Darlingson is an aspiring Playboy Playmate living the life of luxury in the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner. The day after her 27th birthday, she awakes to find a note, seemingly from Hefner, asking her to pack up and leave.

Shelley is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

Rock House is also part of the Leading Hotels of the World, and you can join the Leaders Club to enjoy perks like discounted rates, included breakfasts, complimentary late checkout, and more. Be sure to swing by Cave Bar, located directly below the restaurant, for a night cap. Carved deep into the limestone, it’s made to look like — you guessed it — a cave.

Bird's Eye View

Part of Grace Bay Resorts’ portfolio, Rock House is a relative newcomer to Turks and Caicos — it opened in May 2022. Its initial 46 rooms range from oceanfront studios to two-bedroom cottages. Some of the property is still discreetly under construction, with more rooms being added, including villa vacation homes for sale. Perched on a cliff above turquoise waters, Rock House is one of the best hotels in Turks and Caicos — and it’s easy to see why.

The name of the game at Rock House is relaxing, so throw your beach read in your complimentary tote bag and have a cocktail from Cave Bar brought down to your lounge chair while you enjoy the crystal-clear waters. Led by executive chef Dennis Boon, Rock House’s signature Beach Club restaurant blends into the site’s natural beauty and remoteness while offering seductive 180-degree views of the archipelago’s barrier reef and Atlantic Ocean. The Beach Club serves Adriatic cuisine like fresh seafood, pasta, aged steaks and a curated wine list with endlessly-flowing rosé.

The territory's legal system is based on English common law, with a small number of laws adopted from Jamaica and the Bahamas. Grand Turk is the administrative and political capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands and Cockburn Town has been the seat of government since 1766. Our local Turk’s Head Brewery, found in central Providenciales, offers tours and an onsite tap room, where guests can enjoy all of the local beers and specials made at the brewery.

Landscape and nature photographers will appreciate the sweeping coastal vistas and undeveloped coasts of these little islands. Another great aspect of visiting the more-remote islands and coral reefs in the Turks and Caicos is the journey out. If you spend more time on the water, you’ll be far more likely to experience an unforgettable and spontaneous wildlife encounter. It could be a pod of wild dolphins, jumping eagle rays or snorkeling with humpback whales.

Purchased in 2019 for $9,495,000, the suburban Atlanta property is anchored by a 15,000-square-foot main house with 8 bedrooms, 9 baths, and all the bells and whistles you can expect. The front of the mansion features a large white door with pillars on either side that the family loves to decorate for the season. The property has a colossal 18,000 square feet of living space spread across the main mansion as well as the detached 2,500-square-foot guesthouse. His estate was described as “a complete resort” in a previous listing and, after taking a look at it, we have to agree that it’s indeed a palatial property worthy of the moniker.

Turks and Caicos adopted the slogan “Beautiful by Nature” for good reason, as there are countless magnificent sights to behold both on our island of Providenciales, and beyond! From short kayak tours to full-day excursions to uninhabited islands, we have a variety of options certain to please. Our pre-arrival concierge will be happy to make excursion or activity arrangements prior to your arrival, and our expert team of personal concierges will be thrilled to discuss, recommend and book any excursion you wish after you’ve arrived. Amenities include a pool, pool pavilion, two apartments, a five-car garage, and plenty of features geared at horse lovers. Think a working 12-stall barn, a riding arena with a viewing deck, a hay barn, and an 1867-built farmhouse with a historic log cabin. There isn’t much tourism development on South Caicos, just the historical settlement of Cockburn Harbour, secluded beaches, and remnants of the abandoned sea salt industry.

Turks and Caicos Islands

There is also an oversized pool with a glass infinity edge that is perched on the top of a 25-ft limestone cliff, overlooking the beach while offering panoramic views. Both islands are excellent for birdwatching, and it’s common to see flamingos at one of the wetland viewing spots such as Flamingo Pond Overlook or the Pumpkin Bluff Ponds. Wellness is paramount to the resort, with an elevated 100-foot infinity pool, the largest in Turks & Caicos, which is surrounded by sophisticated day beds and parasols and offers guests a chance to unwind while overlooking the islands’ famed crystal blue waters. Additional wellness amenities include in-room massage treatments, yoga classes, and winding walking and jogging trails. Guests can rent a cabana for the day or enjoy the surrounding lounge chairs on a first-come, first-served basis. The hotel also has a small yet gorgeous private white-sand beach, in addition to complimentary snorkel gear, paddleboards, and kayaks.

See what guests loved the most:

Regardless of whether you stay at a resort or villa, it’s typically best to rent a vehicle when visiting the Turks and Caicos. The country doesn’t have effective public transportation, so having your own vehicle will allow you to get out to some of our amazing beaches and sights. Want to enjoy our beautiful reefs in air-conditioned comfort without getting wet? The Undersea Explorer is a semi-submarine operated by Caicos Tours, and allows passengers to ride below the water’s surface, with large observatory window to see out of. The Bight Reef (also known as Coral Gardens) is the most popular and easiest to access of the beach reefs, and is located on the western end of Grace Bay. Smith’s Reef, found near Turtle Cove, is even more extensive and complex than the Bight Reef, albeit a little harder to find.

Our room rate included breakfast at the one on-site restaurant, Vita, which also offers lunch and dinner. The open-air (but shaded) venue serves all their dishes with a side of gorgeous ocean views. My go-table was located on the far side in the corner where it felt like I was eating while floating above the water. As I sat in my pool cabana, complimentary welcome glass of Champagne in hand, overlooking the long infinity pool that seemed to disappear into the turquoise ocean behind it, an immediate sense of calm washed over me. My husband and I had checked into the Rock House resort in Turks and Caicos mere minutes before, and the staff had kindly set us up with a shady cabana while we waited for our room to be ready.

Apart from the onsite dining and bar, there are no other dining options nearby. There are no specific offerings here geared solely toward kids, and the hotel in general exudes a romantic atmosphere. That said, we encountered several families during our stay, and the pool seemed to be a particular hit with a few younger children. Many other luxury properties found in Providenciales sit along the iconic, but built-up, Grace Bay Beach.

There are so many beautiful and vibrant reefs to explore in the Turks and Caicos. Sites spread across over 80 miles (129 km) of barrier reef are regularly visited by dive boats from Providenciales. If you haven’t yet begun to scuba dive, several local dive shops offer open water and DSD courses. Just a thirty-minute ferry ride from Providenciales are the quiet islands of North Caicos and Middle Caicos.

The system is connected to the mainland by two submarine cables and an Intelsat earth station. There were three AM radio stations (one inactive) and six FM stations (no shortwave) in 1998. The economy of Turks and Caicos is dominated by tourism, offshore finance and fishing.[7][8] The US dollar is the main currency used on the islands. The Turks and Caicos Islands Community College offers free higher education to students who have successfully completed their secondary education. Once a student completes their education at Turks and Caicos Islands Community College, they are allowed to further their education at a university in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom for free. They have to commit to working in the Turks and Caicos Islands for four years to receive this additional education.

Exceptional coasts on other islands in the Turks and Caicos are Mudjin Harbour, Bambarra Beach, Little Ambergris Cay, the sandbars at Fort George Cay and Pine Cay, and the shallow channel and bar systems at Parrot Cay and Sandy Point Beach on North Caicos. "Rock House is the Caribbean Capri, rivaling a trip to the Mediterranean without the transcontinental trip," Durliat said. "As one of only a few Leading Hotels of the World properties in Turks & Caicos, Rock House brings a new experience to those seeking an alternative to beachfront resorts typically found in the islands." The star of the show, however, is the secluded beach – a rarity on the island. With most coastlines densely populated by tourists and locals alike, Rock House’s private beach offers privacy and serenity, while the beach concierge is on hand to arrange excursions or transport you anywhere on the island. Cave Bar – This intimate bar features the natural rock walls and creative design that make it a truly unique experience.

After sending Kerwin Vargas through in the channel, the Argentine burst forward into the box to get across the near post. He was being tracked by Miguel Navarro, who tried to take him down on top of the box off the ball. After he rode that initial challenge, Navarro intentionally swiped out his legs as Uronen played the ball to him. A VAR review led referee Natalie Simon to point to the spot for a clear penalty. Chicago Fire FC Head Coach Frank Klopas made two changes at halftime to spark his team, bringing on Polish forward Kacper Przybylko and midfielder Maren Haile-Selassie, scorer of two goals off the bench against Inter Miami last time out.

Sunday 8th October

— Brandon Cambridge's two goals allowed Charlotte FC to burn out Chicago Fire FC and pick up their fourth-consecutive victory. Chicago countered in the 21st minute after Gaston Gimenez's blast from outside of the box produced a juicy rebound. Przybylko immediately pounced on the ball and scored from a sharp angle.

To make your matchday as smooth as possible, we encourage all ticket holders to access their tickets prior to matchday to avoid confusion and issues at the gate.Fans are also encouraged to arrive early to avoid long lines. All three gates will be open and you can use any of the main gates, regardless of the gate noted on your ticket. A cross into the box from a Charlotte player was headed away by Chicago defenders and fell right in the lap of Cambridge, who finished the job and fooled the Chicago goalkeeper. The Fire claimed the lead in the 24th minute after Jairo Torres' feed was headed down by Shaqiri, allowing Navarro to unleash a left-footed shot. The ball skidded along the turf and past a diving Kahlina for Navarro's second goal of the season and first since June 29. Przybylko secured his brace after he settled a pass from Xherdan Shaqiri and deked Charlotte FC's Christian Fuchs to create some breathing room.

Top goalscorers

As it currently stands, three wins from the three remaining games would guarantee 8th place and hosting privileges for the first-round game against the 9th seed, regardless of scores elsewhere. Both teams in this matchup notched massive midweek wins in the last round of matches. Charlotte FC ran rampant over last-placed Toronto FC in a dominant home display, while Chicago Fire FC took down a Lionel Messi-less Inter Miami CF in front of 62,124 at Soldier Field.

The team's momentum continued, reaching the 2000 MLS Cup final (losing to Kansas City) and winning the 2000 U.S. Internationally experienced players such as Hristo Stoitchkov joined the Fire, while young American talents such as DaMarcus Beasley developed. The Fire quickly became cemented as one of the league's preeminent teams. Founded in 1997 at Navy Pier, on the anniversary of the Great Fire, the Fire immediately tapped into the diverse ethnic makeup of the city. The team brought in Polish players Piotr Nowak, Jerzy Podbrożny, and Roman Kosecki; the Mexican Jorge Campos; and the Czech Luboš Kubík.

While all showed their talent while playing for Chicago that first year, American players (Zach Thornton, Chris Armas, C.J. Brown) proved most integral to the Fire's continued success. Under the club's first head coach, Bob Bradley—and against all expectation—the team completed the double in its first competitive year, beating D.C. United in the 1998 MLS Cup Final, and defeating the Columbus Crew in Chicago to win the 1998 U.S. Fans with assigned parking will receive details and digital parking passes via email prior to the start of the season. Other ticket holders will be responsible for their own parking arrangements.

The Fire are now unbeaten in three and riding a two-match winning streak up the table, putting together key results at exactly the right time in the playoff race. Overall, this matchup has never disappointed, giving the fans late fireworks each and every time. With a massive three points on the line yet again, Saturday will be sure to deliver another classic at the tail end of the season. CLTFC got their first goal back in the 68th minute through Karol Swiderski before Charlotte FC equalized matters in the 76th minute.

Wednesday's match is the fourth win in a row for Charlotte FC in all competitions. Charlotte has now downed Chicago, New York City FC, and Atlanta United in MLS competition and Orlando City SC in U.S. Kacper Przybylko capped a two-goal performance by scoring in the 52nd minute to lift visiting Chicago Fire FC to a 3-2 victory over Charlotte FC on Saturday night. From that point on, CLTFC went into protect mode to keep their lead. With that in mind, Patrick Agyemang entered for Copetti to see the game out, and the game got extremely feisty. Derrick Jones and Kamil Jozwiak both picked up yellow cards in stoppage time.

The club president is Ishwara Glassman-Chrein; Georg Heitz was appointed sporting director in December 2019; The Fire were originally based at Soldier Field from 1997 to 2006. From 2006 to 2019, the club played at SeatGeek Stadium, a stadium originally built for the club, at 71st and Harlem Avenue in Bridgeview. In 2019, with the change of ownership to Joe Mansueto, the Fire returned to Soldier Field for the 2020 MLS season. NYCFC play at Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009 (replacing the original stadium that operated from 1923 to 2008). Yankee Stadium seats 28,743 for most MLS games and can seat up to 47,309 for playoff games and other important matches. The official supporters group, The Third Rail, occupies Sections 236 and 237 of Yankee Stadium and was founded right after the franchise was established.

There are more than 30,000 parking spaces within a minute walk of the stadium. Parking operators lease parking spaces on a match-by-match or seasonal basis near Bank of America Stadium. Coming off a big road win over Atlanta United, Charlotte FC return home for a double header week with lots of momentum. The two teams both won away against each other last season and both have only lost two of their last eleven matches in all competitions. After that season, longtime captain Piotr Nowak retired to take a position in the front office.

Following a brief search, Millonarios manager Juan Carlos Osorio was named the club's third head coach. On January 17, 2008, former Fire star Frank Klopas was named Technical Director in charge of player personnel, and longtime Fire assistant Denis Hamlett was appointed manager. While the Fire struggled at home in 2008 the team found unusual success on the road, gathering 22 out of a possible 45 away points. Momentum grew with the long-anticipated signing of Chicago native Brian McBride on a free transfer in July 2008. After disposing of the Red Bulls 5–2 in the season's final game, they decisively conquered New England in the first round of the playoffs with a 3–0 victory at home. This was Chicago's first playoff advancement over the Revolution in four consecutive seasons.

Charlotte FC kept up the pressure from there, and Copetti nearly got the goal he deserved in the 65th minute. Vargas delivered an inch-perfect cross from a short corner routine, but Copetti’s header went straight at Brady. After that, the game turned quite chippy with several fouls and very few, if any, chances for either team. Offsides and foul calls dominated the rest of the first half until the very last play. Kristijan Kahlina preserved the lead with a strong top hand save on a pacy free kick from a wide area, sending CLTFC to the locker room holding a 1-0 lead.

Sowden House: Inside The Black Dahlia House in Los Angeles

Balbes repaired the stonework, expanded the kitchen, finished the basement, and replaced the small fountain in the central courtyard with a large swimming pool. Perhaps you recognize it from the TNT series starring Chris Pine, I am the Night, which was inspired by Tamar Hodel's daughter's memoir, One Day She'll Darken, and fictionalized the Black Dahlia case. The residence is the perfect setting for many horror and thriller cinematics because of its unique design and the scary history it holds. The Black Dahlia mystery refers to the dark and somber crime involving Elizabeth Short, a 22-year-old victim who got brutally mutilated and cruelly murdered in the year 1947. Dr. George Hodel, a physician and probably an even bigger party animal than the Sowden couple, bought the residence in 1945. When Hodel passed away, his son implied that his father was a sadist and accused him of mercilessly cutting her up and killing her in the basement of the once-innocent Sowden House.

Barnsdall Art Park

The Sowden House basement is where Dr. George Hodel is believed to have assaulted and murdered his victims, including Elizabeth Short of the Black Dahlia case. Frank Lloyd Wright was known for his complex designs, so a secret room really wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. Due to its reputation in the media, Sowden House Los Feliz has become quite a tourist spot for those who visit California. The house was also featured in the television series about the Black Dahlia murder, I Am The Night, starring Chris Pine. The home has been the subject of multiple dark and twisted claims over the years but seems to only add to the public’s growing interest in the property. Whether you’re drawn to its stunning style or its morbid backstory, this house is one you just can’t miss.

The Sandcastle House, architect Harry Gesner’s unique personal home in Malibu sells for $13.5 Million

This space was originally designed for open-air gatherings and musical or dramatic performances. Then in 2001, the property sold for $1.2 million to award-winning designer Xorin Balbes. Balbes, who claimed the house was a “wreck” when he purchased it, spent $1.6 million on renovations.

Movies and TV shows filmed at the Sowden house

The Sowden House in Los Angeles’s Los Feliz neighborhood is one of the city’s most iconic residences. Built for painter and photographer John Sowden in 1926, the 6,000 square-foot house was designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) in a Mayan Revival Style, inspired by the monumentality of pre-Columbian architecture. Wright used concrete textile blocks that give the house a dramatic appearance and its nickname “the Jaws House,” for the way the blocks frame the entrance like a shark’s open mouth. The house also has a possible link to one of the more salacious episodes in LA history, being the one-time home of a prime suspect in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder of 1947. Through myth, transfer of ownership, renovation and redesigns, and association with the infamous Black Dahlia murder of 1947, the Sowden House is a portal not lacking in artistic and humanistic ground.

L.A. Storyhood

Wallpaper was added to the ceiling and the backs of the bookcases, and heavy wood blinds were replaced with soft draperies and Roman shades to make the space feel lighter. The firm used a mix of fabrics and wall coverings by Ralph Lauren Home from Designers Guild throughout the space. It is no secret that this mysterious house has served as the mood setter in several famous movies and TV shows. From playing Howard Hughes’ home in The Aviator (2004) to representing George Hodel’s house of terror in the TNT series, I Am the Night (2019), this Mayan-style building has played many scary roles due to its famous history. Besides serving as movie scenery, the residence is also a performance venue and backdrop for magazine and television shoots.

Wild Life: Synchronized Coral Spawning

Throughout the 5,600-square-foot space, walls of windows wrap around an interior courtyard with a swimming pool and spa surrounded by art installations. Infamous for its distinctive architecture and sordid history, L.A.'s 'Sowden House' (the actual home of 'Black Dahlia' murder suspect Dr. George Hodel) was used as a setting for the new TNT series 'I Am The Night' that debuts on January 28. Infamous for its distinctive design, the 1926-built Sowden House is rectangular in shape, with four connected wings looking in on an enclosed central courtyard.

At the time, he deemed the once mysterious and majestic LA home “a wreck” and invested 1.6-million dollars in its renovation. Much of the cost went to revitalizing the heavily eroded concrete blocks and converting a three-section kitchen into one much larger open space kitchen. In addition, Balbes overhauled the bathrooms and reinstalled a pool in the central courtyard along with a spa. The house, with seven bedrooms, four baths, and 5,600 square feet (520 m2), was listed on the market at $1,575,000 in 2001. Balbes, who said the house was "a wreck" when he bought it, spent $1.6 million to restore the house, though some of his alterations drew criticism from preservationists as well as Lloyd Wright's son, Eric Lloyd Wright. In addition to restoring the stonework, Balbes converted the three-room kitchen area into a large open kitchen, added new upscale bathrooms, and installed a pool and spa in the central court.

These claims were made by Hodel’s own son, Steve Hodel, who was a retired Los Angeles Police Department detective. A controversial figure (his own 14-year-old daughter once accused him of assault and incest), Hodel was known to throw sex parties in his Hollywood abode, giving way to many rumors surrounding his wild lifestyle. He was known for his eccentric behavior and interests, which reportedly included an affinity for the arts and surrealism. George Hodel had ties to people in the entertainment industry and reportedly hosted gatherings at his residence that attracted a mix of artists, writers, and socialites. The house traded hands a few more times before its most famous owner took residence here.

This notion of portal is evocative of our time and the basis for PASSAGES at the Sowden House. Constructed in 1926, the front of the building somewhat resembles the open mouth of a shark and for that reason, it is often referred to as the “Jaws House”. The 5,600 square foot house in Los Angeles featured seven bedrooms and four baths before several renovations that resulted in a spacious open kitchen, updated bathrooms and a spa with a pool in the central courtyard. A unique pattern of concrete blocks makes the distinct property stand out above the rest. Copper gates, an elaborate staircase, and an immaculate living room space are even more reason to be in awe of this house. The Sowden House underwent a major renovation when designer Xorin Balbes purchased the property for 1.2-million dollars in 2001.

Sometimes the mind seizes on an story that feels like the truth, that’s easy and blunt. Despite the Hollywood debauchery linked to the LA home, there’s a single resident who has drawn more attention to the Sowden House than any other. And the accusations pitted against this resident from his very own son paint the Sowden House as the site of one of the city’s most grisly and notorious murders. Historical preservationists likewise expressed disappointment at news of the changes.

John Sowden, an eccentric photographer and purveyor of the arts, commissioned his friend Lloyd Wright, a set designer for Paramount, to construct the Sowden House. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Lloyd Wright was the oldest son of world-renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. With Sowden’s colorful tastes, Wright was no doubt encouraged to plan the strangest LA home possible. One of Southern California’s finest examples of neo-Mayan architecture, the singular, striking residence resembles a temple but has also drawn comparisons to a cave or the gaping mouth of a great white shark.

In 1997 the property was featured in Curtis Hanson’s hit movie ‘LA Confidential,’ featuring Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, and Kim Basinger. After Avenger was published, LA Times reporter Steve Lopez went through long-forgotten police transcripts related to the Dahlia's murder. Not only did he find proof that Hodel was a suspect in the murder, he also discovered that the Sowden House had been bugged by the DA's office in the months after the incest trial. When questioned by police, George responded bizarrely, stating that he had recently been “delving into the mystery of love and the universe,” and that the acts of which he was accused were “unclear, like a dream.

But a second look reveals just how much of his evidence turns wispy and vanishes under close scrutiny. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with Elizabeth Short, or Betty, as she was sometimes called. She’s better known by the infamous moniker, The Black Dahlia, a name she was never called in life, that has obscured the very real person she was. Yet his son, Steve Hodel, published a book about his theory in 2003 entitled Black Dahlia Avenger. In 2013, he returned to his childhood home with police canines who allegedly found trace human remains in the Sowden House basement. But with legends trumping confirmed truths, public consensus agrees that this is the site of the notorious murder.

Lloyd Wright would use the Mayan-influence again when designing a short-lived wooden shell for the Hollywood Bowl. However, it was the last time any member of the Wright family would employ this unique design style. The Sowden House continues to contribute to the Wright’s lasting legacy of innovation with a place on the U.S.

Between 1945 and 1950, the property was owned by a Los Angeles physician, Dr. George Hodel. Although he was not named at the time, he was a prime suspect in the infamous Black Dahlia murder, which took place in 1947. Once through the gate, you turned immediately to your right and continued up a dark passageway, then made another right turn to the front door. It was like entering a cave with secret stone tunnels, within which only the initiated could feel comfortable.

Despite having the house built and designed for him in 1926, John Sowden only lived in the property for a few years before selling it to Ruth Rand Barnett in 1930. If the John Sowden House at 5121 Franklin Avenue in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles, California, looks a little familiar, it’s probably because it was used as the home of Howard Hughes in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator. Also, if you’ve ever seen it before, it can be a little difficult to forget because of its unique design. As is often the case, the sordid new story only increased the house’s profile and market value.
