To better preserve its past, Los Angeles needs a better sense of its history - and the places that define that history. That's what five panelists - crime novelist Denise Hamilton, Libros Schmibros founder David Kipen, L.A. Office of Historic Resources manager Ken Bernstein, L.A. Weekly staff writer Dennis Romero, and KCET arts and culture columnist Lynell George - agreed at a Zócalo/Getty - Open Art - event. In a discussion moderated by KCRW's Saul Gonzalez, the group talked about the importance of the places from the past that make L.A. feel like home today.
