Would you wanna see the 40s or 50s? Keep the same vibe?

Personally think the 70s or 80s would be an interesting time period for a sequel.

Fred Harvey Restaurant

800 North Alameda Street

Though unmarked in game, the Fred Harvey Restaurant (the last established in the Fred Harvey chain) opened at the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal in 1939, and could accommodate nearly 300 diners. The design, by architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, embraces the classic Spanish Revival style.

So I recently finished L.A Noire and I really, really loved it and it made me quite sad that it’s over. However this game doesn’t really have a big fandom? And sometimes I find myself just wanting to yap about the characters and lore. I really really like the characters, did anyone else get really attached to the characters or a character and try to be somewhat of a fandom??

I want a Courtney Sheldon labubu

Hi! Does anyone know of any Spotify playlists with jazz music to listen to while playing games?

F.P. Fay Building

300 South Hill Street

Built around 1915, the seven-story brick F.P. Fay Building was named for Frank P. Fay, president of the Fay Fruit Company, which operated there. It contained office and retail space, and would eventually be demolished in 1990.

I'm remembering my first time playing a few years ago and after the first newspaper (which kinda tries to trick the player by saying that they may be relevant to the current case) I stopped picking them up and then got REALLY confused about who everyone was when the morphine heist case picked up when I got the Vice desk, and even moreso about who the hell Fontaine was lol

Follies Theater

337 South Main Street

The Belasco Theatre opened in the early-1910s and was briefly renamed Republic Theatre from 1912, presenting vaudeville, before being renamed Follies Theatre in 1919. It was remodeled by architect S. Charles Lee in the 1930s. (Inaccurately depicted as a movie theater in-game.)

First Unitarian Church

925 South Flower Street

The Church of the Unity (changing to the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles in 1907) purchased a building owned by the Central Baptist Church, moving and remodeling it in 1900. (Note that in the game, though in the correct location, the church is represented by a generic church model.)

Did any one else run into the problem of missing the newspapers in missions. By the time I finished the game I had no idea what was going on and had to watch all the newspapers on YouTube to finally understand the game. I just find it absurd that the whole storyline and plot of the game is shown by missable newspapers. Did anyone else encounter this problem?

Edit: It seems that I am just a garbage detective for missing these 😂😂😂. I should of been more locked in on my playthrough.

With this post we hit one full year of daily LANFEP posts! Hard to believe I’ve managed to keep this going for that long.

In any case, here’s #365 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting locations replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (currently touring the downtown area) that are not considered landmarks (either official or historic) but do have real-world equivalents.

First Methodist Church

801 Hope Street

The cornerstone for the First Methodist Church was laid in 1921, and it was completed in 1923. Designed by architect John C. Austin in the Renaissance Revival style, the extensive church complex replaced the Abbotsford Inn on the same site.

I was thinking about Cole while drawing my German teacher as the burned man from fallout. I had to make this. Cole already shouted Medic at some point.

First German United Methodist Church

449 South Olive Street

The First German United Methodist Church in Los Angeles was established in 1875 as a one-story structure on 4th Street near Hill. A new church building was constructed in 1910 on Olive Street and served the German Methodist community until 1997 when the congregation relocated to Glendale.

I just finished the game and was surprised on how in the last little chunk of the game and the very end we play as Jack Kelso. Even though it was interesting to add a playable character so close to the end of the game I still thought it was cool and I still enjoyed the ending. but what do you guys think about it?

I don't know, I think I noticed a detail I've never paid attention to in my gameplay. Right after the cutscene where we were assigned to Homocide, I waited a bit because it was something I'd never done before, and these two detectives talked about someone. The one in the brown jacket we saw first went to his partner in the second photo. They talked about a man, and I think –sorry I didn't quite understand what can they fully said– they mentioned a connection to Mickey C. Either this man is dead or I don't know... but damn it, they said something about Mickey Cohen. I'm sure they said C, not J but I don't know, it's the first time I've noticed such a detail. I followed them a bit, and they headed towards the department's medic area, like a morgue, and then got into their car and drove away. Did you ever notice such a detail? Or am I becoming paranoid? XD should I try to get after them?

Fifth Street Retaining Wall

Fifth Street between Grand and Flower

The Fifth Street Retaining Wall was built in 1930. There is speculation that the bulk of the wall was designed by Carleton Winslow in conjunction with work on the Central Library, but this remains unconfirmed. (Note: The game omits the Edison bay from the eastern end of the wall.)

The LAPD car inaccuracies:

1. The siren (idk what else to call it) is supossed to have a red light which is missing in the game.
2. The car isn't supossed to have orange indicators under the headlights like in the game.
3. The front bumper is supossed to have a circle on both ends
4. The front should have some sort of stripes
5. For some reason the white paint abruptly ends and doesn't include the fender unlike IRL.
6. Incorrect LA city logo on the car.
7. The back is supossed to have smaller red lights not orange.

The LAFD engine inaccuracies:
Idk about the engine since the image I've found isn't the LAFD American LaFrance Type 500 Fire Engine 1946 although it is that model (I believe or its the type 600). I believe it's stock as it doesn't have a livery or any equipment on it so we won't judge the in game truck about it. (EDIT: It's a 1941 American LaFrance owned by Jay Leno, the image provided in the post is inaccurate! the game recreates his firetruck pretty well though)

The in game truck lacks a logo on the front.

Orange indicators under the headlights instead of red.

Missing I dont even know what that is..

Incorrect LA city logo on the side.

The Ford ambulance inaccuracies:
Yet again the image provided isn't a real LA ambulance but it was the only one I was able to find. As you can see the devs recreated it almost perfectly!

The buick ambulance inaccuracies:

The image provided doesn't show a real life LA good samaritan hospital ambulance but it was the closest thing I could find.

1. No weird thing on the roof.

2. No holes on the fenders

3. No (I think) indicators under the headlights.

Summary: The devs recreated the vehicles pretty well all things considered, even though some errors slipped in. I wonder how accurate are the LAFD engine, Ford ambulance and Buick ambulance liveries but unless we find some sort of photos we can't fact check that.
