Join us this week as we talk with George Redfox, President of the Downey Conservancy, about the grassroots campaign to save the original Taco Bell restaurant building in Downey. We’ll also visit with curators Christina Rice and Wendy Horowitz to learn about their LAPL Central Library exhibit “From Pop to the Pit: LAPL Photo Collection Celebrates the Los Angeles Music Scene, 1978-1989.”
We’ll also discuss the listing of the historic King Eddy Saloon on the market, landmark status for Jack Colker’s 76 Station in Beverly Hills, the $10 a night Airbnb tent on Skid Row and groundbreaking for a residential development on the site of the old Union Rescue Mission on Main Street. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of February 23rd, 2015.
