About this Event

Join author and tour guide Adam Papagan in the Edendale Library meeting room Saturday November 15th at 12:00 noon. His new book is Behind the Scenes in Los Angeles: A Pop Culture History Tour. To celebrate its release he is presenting at libraries around Los Angeles about obscure local landmarks near those locations, and for this program, Adam will tell us about some of the interesting lesser-known sites from pop culture history around Echo Park.

Adam’s work examines the intersection of history, pop culture, and entertainment. He has served as curator of The O.J. Museum, creator of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Tour and The Curb Your Enthusiasm Tour, co-host of the web series Dead in Hollywood, and has produced programs that have aired on community television stations nationwide. His new guidebook draws on his decades of experience as a Los Angeles tour guide, and covers everything from California's colonial past, locations from the golden age of film, and the histories of prestigious museums, as well as sites better known for their part in international crimes and scandals like the Black Dahlia case. With tips from the best times to visit to where to park, Behind the Scenes helps you experience the best of Los Angeles like a local. Copies will be available for purchase and signing by the author.

The Edendale library is at 2011 Sunset Blvd., enter from the Alvarado St. side through the library parking lot.
