Welcome to issue #2 of Barry\u2019s Tour Guide! This series shines some light on interesting, weird, and beautiful locations around San Andreas that you may not know about, while giving insightful information on the history of these locations. Come with me and explore the expansive and diverse state that we all live in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we explore a location that I visit pretty often: The Templar Hotel and its publicly accessible rooftop. Located right off Legion Square, the view that this building provides is absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One aspect of this hotel that I love is its history. Looking to be built sometime between 1910 and the early 1920s, this building is similar to many apartment hotels which were common in population centers akin to Chicago when this particular one was built. The Templar would often house many middle-class tenants and was popular for having small units in a fairly attractive building. This provided citizens with the opportunity to live in a desirable location of Los Santos that they would not be able to afford otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
