Sycamore Square Walking Tour – Sunday, December 11, 2016

Want to learn more about our local neighborhood history? On Sunday, December 11, please join the Sycamore Square Neighborhood Association for a free, informal, one-hour walking tour of the Sycamore Square neighborhood (bordered by Wilshire, Citrus, Olympic, and La Brea).

The theme of the tour is “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.” We’ll trace the neighborhood’s origins, history, and development (including its unique residential zoning pattern that fosters a multiplicity of generations and lifestyles)…as well as introduce current neighborhood issues and preservation efforts.

The event is open to everyone; no advance reservations required. Just meet at 2 p.m. at the NE corner of Sycamore and Olympic (the corner of the front lawn of Wilshire Crest School) to explore this historic, well-preserved, wonderfully diverse and livable community. (The tour will take about an hour, and is an easy, level walk.) Please join us if you can!
