10. Downtown L.A. (part 2)

March 17, 2014

Help preserve the history of downtown Los Angeles! Our previous episode on downtown L.A. talked about why we think downtown is so friggin’ great and historically valuable. This episode goes a bit further with ways you can help the preservation efforts. With Matt Blitz and Scott Garner from Atlas Obscura as guests once again, we talk about great renovations done by Clifton’s Cafeteria, the Ace Hotel, and the Nickel Diner. We also recommend downtown staples you should see before they go the way of the white buffalo, such as the quinceanera dress shops, the New Jalisco Bar, and The Galaxy. Consider joining the L.A. Conservancy and learn the importance of preservation through education.
