| Trivia | The "Jesus saves" sign can be scene in the background during a crime scene. The iconic neon sign in downtown L.A. has quite the story. It was once part of the Church of the Open Door, then moved to the United Artists Theater, which served as the Los Angeles University Cathedral. As of recent, the building that the sign sits on houses the Ace Hotel. See more » |
