*It is mentioned that the [[Mysterious Woman]] lives next to ''"The Flower District"'', most likely downtown Los Angeles. ([http://www.laflowerexchange.com/ www.laflowerexchange.com]).  This is consistent with the description in the video.  Could be in Bunker Hill.

*Perhaps we can locate the building; he does give us a huge wealth of information.  Here's what we know: multi-story, multi-unit building of older construction with white stucco highlighting and 45 degree angles on its exterior, converted to upstairs studio apartments, wide hallways with carpets that aren't cleaned very often, large upper story industrial windows facing South, there was an active factory on the ground floor years ago, some units have concrete support columns in their middle.  Anyone in LA brave enough to poke around downtown?
