I'll try to start the new Mystery Locations next Sunday (May 8). I still haven't decided exactly what to do because using clues only, instead of photos, is going to be much more complicated.
Maybe you should start a Mystery Locations category, or move the subject to Special Messages so that people will know what we're discussing.

Los Feliz Murder House Back on the Market, Price Reduced by $1 MillionIf you’re interested in purchasing a reputedly haunted “murder house,” the former home of family annihilator Dr. Harold Perelson is back on the market and the asking price has been cut by $1 million.
The Los Feliz home, built in 1925, has sat empty for most of its existence. Following the death of Rudy Enriquez, who inherited the property from his parents, the house was listed for sale in March 2016 for $2,750,000. A little less than four months later, on July 18, lawyer Lisa Bloom, daughter of famous women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred, and her husband, Braden Pollock, paid $2,289,500 for the infamous murder site on close to two-thirds of an acre.
The pair declared they weren’t afraid of ghosts and it was their intention to renovate and live in the home. “It was a great opportunity to get a rare property like this at a good price,” Pollock told listing agent Nancy Sanborn.
Then the terror began. The new owners soon discovered that enlarging the residence to their specifications would necessitate tearing down the building and regrading the hill. So, they altered their plans and commenced renovations, gutting the house (above) in the process.
For reasons unknown, less than three years later, on May 16, 2019, the pair listed what now amounted to nothing more than a shell of a house for sale at an asking price of $3,500,000. It’s now been more than a year, and despite the price having been cut by a million dollars, there have been no takers.
The current listing is aimed at developers and contractors in search of a unique property in a “neighborhood that is home to movie stars, musicians and Hollywood elites,” ideal for the right buyer “with a vision for real value by doing a remodel or ground up development.” In other words, it’s being sold at a knock-down price. Because the home has been “taken down to the studs” and won’t “qualify for financing,” the listing continues, the seller is interested in “cash or hard money offers only,” adding that seller financing may be available.
At this point, it is apparent the sellers are interested in unloading the property and cutting their losses, an indication all reasonable offers will be considered.
