Layers, Lores, Locations of DTLA History Were Explored In The First Map Making Workshop and Walk With Map Wrangler Katie Bachler

During the first Map Making Workshop, we examined potential artifacts exhibiting elements of DTLA's history: a working public pay phone, former mayor Richard Riordan's Original Pantry Cafe (est. 1924 and doors never locked until the uprisings of 1994), LA Live and its unchanged, still-present Michael Jackson memorial signboard. Our next map making workshop- to take place on Saturday, October 3 from 2-4PM will focus on following the diverse smells of downtown, extracting their origins, and investigating the stories odors tell about the plurality of DTLA.
