Imagine corseted high-heeled housewives negotiating hundreds of narrow steps heading to the streetcar carrying shopping bags. How about a fountain dedicated to Rudolph Valentino commissioned after his death by a group of loving fans? Learn about the "5-Globe Lewellyn," the "Olympic Special," and other historic streetlights still gracing the city's boulevards. These three compact booksStreetlights, Stairways and Fountains designed as personal photo albums, convey the sense of discovery the author felt while pursuing her research. Experience your own sense of discovery as an armchair traveler touring Los Angeles' best urban details. ISBN 9781890449117 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
