Anyone interested, with an extra tenspot to burn and four hours to spare, can show up for The Dashiell Hammett Tour at noon on Sunday July 31 — no reservations needed or taken. If you’re not there, I can’t help you.
I’m thinking of skipping walks in August, keeping the weekends free for a casual run down to L.A. for pitchers of martinis in Musso & Frank, but if you want to wait, in September there will be tours each and every Sunday in the month.
