Hasloch is a community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft of Kreuzwertheim. Hasloch has a population close to 1,400.

Hasloch lies on the river Main in the Würzburg region. The river at this point is the border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Hasloch is located on the southern edge of the  Mittelgebirge Spessart. The Haslochbach flows into the Main east of the village.

Subdivisions
The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Hasloch and Hasselberg.

History
In 1305, Hasloch had its first documentary mention. The former part of the Löwenstein County of Wertheim passed with a small part of the county at mediatization in 1806 to the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

In 1974, in the course of municipal reform, the formerly self-administering community of Hasselberg was amalgamated with Hasloch.

Demographics
Within town limits, 1,502 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1,449 in 1987 and in 2000 1,428.

Economy

In other areas, 579 such workers worked from home. There was one processing business.

Do Detectives Think? or The Bodyguard is a 1927 silent comedy short film starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy prior to their official billing as the duo Laurel and Hardy.

Production
Do Detectives Think? is most notable for featuring the comedians in their familiar garb of crumpled suits and bowler hats for the very first time, the standard costumes of detectives of the time.

Plot
A Judge (Finlayson) sentences a murderer, the Tipton Slasher (Noah Young), to death. The murderer vows revenge on the judge.

Following the escape of the condemned man, the judge engages a detective agency which sends its two least-skilled detectives (Laurel and Hardy) to protect him.

In a sequence that establishes their routine, their hats blow off and land in a cemetery. They are scared to retrieve them. Stan is scared of his own shadow, thinking it is another person. Meanwhile the Slasher is in the judge's house, taking on the role of a butler.

Hardy demonstrates his shooting skills to the judge, claiming his uncle was William Tell. He tries to shoot an apple from Laurel's head but destroys a nearby vase.

The judge's wife sees the butler with a huge knife and screams. He hides in a bedroom where Laurel and Hardy sit in bed together. The judge is having a bath. Laurel and Hardy overpower the Slasher but Hardy gets handcuffed instead of the Slasher.

The judge in a large white towel falls down the stairs and an odd mask jams on the back of his head. From the back he looks like a ghost and scares the Slasher. The police arrive and arrest the Slasher.

The sleuths, after many mishaps, manage to capture the murderer.

Cast

Homages
Canadian musician Nash the Slash chose his stage name based on the character in Do Detectives Think.

5900 Wilshire is a , 32-story skyscraper completed in 1971 in Los Angeles, California, United States. It is the tallest building in the Miracle Mile district, the second-tallest in the Wilshire Area, and the 38th-tallest in Los Angeles. The international-style building was designed by architect Gin Wong of William L. Pereira & Associates. The building, which includes tenants occupying entire floors all the way down to executive suites, is across Wilshire Boulevard from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The Ratkovich Company spent $34 million on a renovation which began in 2005 and was still in process in the second quarter of 2008. The renovation included a new lobby. The placement of a bus zone across the street at LACMA and the subsequent removal of the crosswalk that would have fed traffic to a proposed cafe caused a rethinking of those plans. It was built for the Mutual Benefit Life by the Shorenstein Co. of San Francisco. The  building was acquired by The Ratkovich Company in December 2005.

In December 2008, the building became the official west coast headquarters for the entertainment newspaper Variety. The newspaper's name adorned the top of the building's north face in red letters until late 2013.

In 2014, the building became the official west coast headquarters for SBE Entertainment Group. The company's logo is the current signage of the building.

Berlin wall segments
In the building's front lawn is a memorial to the Berlin Wall, containing ten original segments. Together, they form the longest stretch of the Berlin Wall in the United States. The segments were installed in 2009 by the Wende Museum. The installation included temporarily walling Wilshire Boulevard in commemoration of the wall's removal.
