Bell Of The Ball
Since the previous attraction blog post, Angels Flight, referenced a film location (we found the park featured in 500 Days of Summer), Offbeat Frontier decided to continue with the theme of uncovering "movie magic" with Hidden Gem #14:
The Korean Bell of Friendship in San Pedro
What great film could this be from? Speed? Money Train? Cool Runnings? Not even close, we are surprised that those would be your answers. Nope the Korean Bell of Friendship was featured in...
The Usual Suspects
Located at Angel's Gate Park (Fort MacArthur) in San Pedro, the Bell was given to the United States as a bicentennial gift from the Republic of Korea for fighting in the Korean War. We gave them eleven seasons of M*A*S*H*.
Modeled after The Divine Bell of King Seongdeok the Great of Silla
The complex has an amazing view of the ocean that makes it the visit even more tranquil.
The "Belfry of Friendship" (Ujeong-ui Jonggak)
So take a friend or enemy and feel the power of international friendship (in bell form)
