Day twenty of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.
Today’s short and sweet entry comes from the diary of author John Cheever, recounting his brief visit to Los Angeles in 1945.
We love you, Los Angeles!
