#OurLA

At a time when Angelenos are significantly confined to our homes, City Planning's Office of Historic Resources has created a series of videos and blogs called #OurLA to keep us connected to one another and to the places and neighborhoods that make Los Angeles special. This series highlights lesser-known historic buildings and historic places across the city – including places that help build community and connection.
