#263: When it comes to historical design, Los Angeles doesn't top a lot of people's lists. Compared to a San Francisco or New York, L.A. can feel a lot... newer. But we do have those cities beat in one category: our streetlights.
Los Angeles has the most examples of historical designs of any city in the country.
So today we're going on a Streetlight Safari... and we're doing it with India Mandelkern, author of the new book, Electric Moons: A Social History of Street Lighting in Los Angeles.
Check out the book here for a field guide to LA's streetlights.
Or follow India on instagram where she posts pictures of her favorites throughout the city.
