Expanding our Knowledge
A wealth of publications, research, field work, personal stories, food sampling, and other cultural experiences that span more than 20 years contributed to the information included in this guide. The classic book “L.A. from A to Z” by Leonard and Dale Pitt is a good starter, but the Los Angeles Conservancy helps bridge that history with current events. Local web sites, neighborhood publications, and the L.A. Times combine to offer countless stories that allow us to remain updated as we observe through clearer lenses the fascinating experiments that combine to make L.A. the most diverse metropolitan area in the history of the world.     

Informed by these experiences in our great city, one might appreciate how we could insert L.A. into the language of Gandhi’s renowned quote: “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.”
