An Appearance on LAPL’s “L.A. Untangled”

~ Eric Brightwell

The Los Angeles Public Library was a show called L.A. Untangled, hosted by Kelly Wallace. If you haven’t seen it, you will probably want to check it out. The last episode starred my friend, Victoria Bernal (@LAHistory). The one before that — the debut — starred Elizabeth Ito, of whom I am a new but massive fan — well, mainly of her amazing television series (a sequence of words I almost never utter), City of Ghosts. And now here I am, in episode three. What an honor!

  1. Someone on Reddit recently said that someone could make up their own fictional LA neighborhood name by taking the Spanish name for any produce item and adding “Park”, “Hills” or “Heights” after it.
