This is the first “plus-one” episode of Five Places Los Angeles.
In each episode, we ask our interviewees to name someone whom they would choose to ask about the five places that define Los Angeles for them. As each interviewee invites a plus-one, our living documentary of the city grows and evolves.
Carolina Miranda, the arts and urban design columnist for the Los Angeles Times, whom we interviewed in Episode One, chose Carribean Fragoza as her plus-one. To hear Carolina Miranda’s interview and read her bio, check out her interview and show notes at fiveplaces.la.
