Join us this week as we talk with Donald Spivack, former Deputy Chief of Operations and Policy for the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles, about Bunker Hill’s Grand Avenue and its multiple reinventions over the past four decades. We’ll also visit with Jon Christensen, editor of Boom, a Journal of California, to learn about the motivations that power this most California-centric publication.
We’ll also discuss the destruction of the Royal Viking Motel neon sign, John Buntin debunks gentrification myths, when activists go gonzo, Chris Nichols lists 12 endangered L.A. landmarks, a white knight for the Southwest Museum, Ray Bradbury’s demolished house starts conversations about preservation and public policy and the National Register Rives Mansion in Downey in peril. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of January 26th, 2015.
