Day nine 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 brief entry from1979 is from Aaron Paley, who would go on to become the President of Community Arts Resources (CARS) and co-creator of CicLAvia. He continues to be a driving force in our city in the present day.

We love you, Los Angeles!
