"Westside Stories Too focuses on the places and events that have shaped the character and myths of this well-known corner of the nations second-largest city - from post-World War I days to the early days of the 21st century. While its predecessor volume looked at life in the neighborhoods surrounding Cheviot Hills in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Westside Stories Too takes readers to the eateries, movie theaters, museums, parks and shops of a much broader area and later period as well as to those Westside locations that were the sites of some of the most notorious crimes ever committed. Each vignette is tied to the movies and television series that gave the names and sites familiarity to the rest of the world. The book stimulates a kaleidoscope of memories mixed with cogent commentary on what life on the Westside of Los Angeles now has to offer"--.
