To address the sadness spurred by seeing old places get demolished in our fair city, Zócalo presents Is L.A.’s Past Worth Saving? Moderated by KCRW’s Saul Gonzalez, it’s a conversation about the loss of sites such as Ray Bradbury’s home or that last Queen Anne mansion in Bunker Hill. It’s also the launch of the Getty and the city’s new preservation initiative, HistoricPlacesLA — a website that aims to comprehensively chronicle the endangered city. The panel will include L.A. Weekly’s own Dennis Romero, Libros Schmibros’ David Kipen, KCET’s Lynell George, crime novelist Denise Hamilton and L.A. Office of Historic Resources manager Ken Bernstein.
