Smogtown: The Lung-Burning History of Pollution in Los Angeles
A panel discussion with authors Chip Jacobs and William J. Kelly; Tom Hayden, author and former state legislator; and Martin Schlageter, Coalition for Clean Air.
Moderated by Kevin Roderick, Editor, LAObserved.com
How did smog help mold the modern-day culture of Los Angeles? Join this discussion about pollution, progress and the epic struggle against airborne poisons.
Not sure what everyone is doing later on tonite, but the rumor is that Borfo is go-go dancing for this Allman Brothers cover band somewhere in LA. I'm trying to find out where. I plan on going to see him after that, so if this all sounds like a good idea, we can roll after this lecture.
Hey any band that has a song titled Midnight Rider cant be all that bad, right?
This was an excellent presentation. I tried to ask a question in regards to supporting a better bicycle plan than what is currently presented by the LADOT, but I was never selected by the moderator to ask a question. I'll see about emailing each of these authors to see we can get some political support for a better bike plan. All of them would be great to have aboard since they all live in LA County and are well connected politically. Tom Hayden would be assume to have fighting in our corner!
I believe the video is available for viewing online somewhere, just don't know where.
