Parcel B Special Meeting

Very exciting stuff.  First off I love going to City Hall.  I always get a rush.

If you want to be in you can go with the Tolkin Group's Culver X.  Which the materials to be used is in keeping with what is already on the buildings currently downtown, which I like however you go "into" this property.

Taking A WALK today

Later on this morning I will drive to Santa Monica to partake in a charity walk.  I call it A WALK as it can not compare to THE WALK with the communities being so different Santa Monica vs. Culver City.  I'll report back with my findings.  My money is on CC.

Get on Board:Stories of the Los Angeles to Houston Freedom Ride

I saw this exhibit in September when I visited Culver City's newest museum for the first time. Even if we didn't personally experience the enforced segregation and degradations of the Jim Crow-era South, most have seen a film, read a book, or witnessed the re-telling of accounts from that age.

 

Get on Board : Stories of the Los Angeles to Houston Freedom Ride at the Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum is not your usual look-with-your-eyes-not-with-your-hands…
