Cost: Free Rediscover a “Lost Lautner” with the L.A. Forum Perched on a hillside in Echo Park, the Salkin House spent most of its life hiding in plain sight. At just 1,100 square feet, it was easy to overlook—especially after decades of deferred maintenance. But behind the overgrowth and failing structure was a rare architectural treasure: an early, almost-forgotten work by John Lautner. Designed in 1948 when Lautn... Read More

Los Angeles has long blurred the lines between transportation and transformation. The city’s Metro system doesn’t just move people—it tells stories. Nowhere is that more evident than along the K Line, one of the newer lines in LA’s light rail network, which weaves through historically rich neighborhoods like Leimert Park, Inglewood, and Crenshaw. What sets the K Line apart isn’t just its route—it’s the art. Metro commission... Read More
