A Big City Listening Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday for City Listening II—it was such an amazing event! We had over 300 people fill the grand former bank space at the Spring Arts Tower in downtown for a memorable night of loving and learning about LA. As one reviewer over at Architizer wrote: "City Listening II proves its value once again to Los Angeles."

Check out the photos of the event by demonica photo, and photos of the after party at the Crocker Club.

And now, we've got some thanking to do...
