LA as it should beBy Gary GBeing born in Georgia I cannot comment on the way things used to be in Los Angeles decades ago; but after reading this book I feel like I know what it once was; and in some ways weep for what it now is. Nostalgia for the older generation; a history lesson for the younger generation; this book in both pictures and text will at the very least give you something to think about.
