This fascinating book takes readers on a time-traveling journey to explore the oldest buildings, businesses, and neighborhoods in the City of Angels.

Learn about the whimsical Looff Hippodrome on the Santa Monica Pier, the origin story of iconic Pink’s Hot Dogs, where you can find a 250-year-old grapevine in Los Angeles, and plenty more historic locations. While L.A. is known for beaches, film studios, and a sunny climate, it’s worth digging deeper to discover the city’s soul. Veteran travel journalist and lifelong Angleno Mimi Slawoff takes us on an informative and engaging exploration of Los Angeles, complete with insider stories and plenty of fun L.A. trivia.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
