Tiny L.A. Landmarks

I just had to share these small-scale models of L.A. landmarks by artist Al Alu, including the Formosa Cafe, Griffith Park's Trails Cafe, the New Beverly Cinema, Pinks, and Tail O' the Pup. From Curbed.

Los Angeles Book Club

I'm trying a new thing, a virtual book club where we read and discuss books about Los Angeles. Read my explanation here.

And if you're interested in "joining" this virtual book club in an informal, totally non-binding way, why, please do! Just leave a comment on the column so I know you're in, even though—and I cannot stress this enough—being "in" does not obligate you to do anything, ever.
