Join us this week as we talk with 99-year-old Margaret Freed about her adventures running the legendary gift shop at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Elysian Park. We’ll also visit with Elisha Shapiro, L.A.‘s very own Nihilist performance artist.

This week we’ll also discuss ongoing Ellis Act protests at Hollywood’s historic Villa Carlotta apartments, the city of Norco’s attempts to preserve the endangered Lake Norconian Club resort, a controversial “street art” event inside a West Adams mansion and updates from our efforts to restore Pershing Square and get Angels Flight Railway moving again. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of November 16th, 2015
