Last month I went to the meeting of the California Map Society at the LA Public Library.  It was my first visit inside the building since the fire about 15 years ago.  They have done a super job blending the old and the new and the public and the private.

Go on the weekend when traffic is low and parking is cheap

Some of the murals from the old building still exist and are beautifully restored.
