L.A., from someone who watched it get built.
Six decades of watching this city change.
Most L.A. coverage is either breaking news with no memory, or nostalgia with no news. LA-Hollis sits in between — twice-weekly recaps of what’s happening now, deep dives into the history that explains why a neighborhood looks the way it does, and curated coverage from local outlets doing great work.
I’m not chasing outrage and I’m not selling nostalgia — I’m trying to give Angelenos the context that’s usually missing.
Recap. Historian. Curated.
Recap: what’s happening in L.A. this week, twice a week. Historian: why the city looks the way it does, whenever the story earns it. Curated: the best L.A. journalism out there, with context added.
Watch the Recaps
Twice a week, I break down what’s actually happening in L.A. — city council decisions, neighborhood flashpoints, the stories with staying power over the ones with just a news cycle.
The Best of L.A. Journalism, Curated
There’s excellent L.A. journalism out there already — I’m not trying to replace it, I’m trying to point you to it and add what I know. Standout coverage from outlets like LAist, Think Forward LA, and LA Podcast, with a short note on why it’s worth your time.
