'Lyfting LA speaks to the history and culture of Los Angeles, which is dynamic because of the entertainment and music heritage that surrounds us Angelenos. That history is front and center as many chapters reference Hollywood origins, artists that came here, music venues that propelled careers to greatness, and personalities that defined an era.' -John Wood, long-time history teacher (retired) at Hollywood High SchoolThis is a series of stories and conversations about the people of Los Angeles: some you’ve probably heard of, and some you haven’t. When an English teacher and local history nerd spends several years ride-share driving and talking with all sorts of people, this is the result: an interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes eye-opening survey of the people who use ride-share services in Los Angeles.
