Join us this week as we talk with City Archivist Michael Holland about more exciting relics from Los Angeles’ past he’s uncovered in “The Vault.” We’ll also visit with author Stephen Gee to hear about Union Station’s 75th anniversary and its architect, recently honored with the naming of 5th & Spring Streets as John Parkinson Square.
We’ll also discuss the recent appearance of San Bernardino’s historic Arrowhead Springs resort on the open market, and the findings of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Preservation Green Lab on how Older, Smaller, Better offers great benefits for urban development. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of May 19th, 2014.
