Join us for a conversation with Nick Patsaouras and his new book: The Making of Modern Los Angeles: A Chronicle on March 5. Nick arrived from Athens at age seventeen and established a successful electrical engineering company designing commercial, industrial, educational, residential, medical, institutional, religious, and entertainment projects. Nick served on several boards—from Los Angeles Metro to Los Angeles Department of Water and Power —and even ran for LA Mayor! His book is a firsthand account of decisions made in public and behind the scenes over a fifty-year career that has truly made Los Angeles what it is today. Nick is a true insider whose vision and persistence prevailed and made a monumental difference. Supported by Westside Urban Forum, Move LA, and CoMotion. Eli Lipmen, Daniel Eppstein, Christopher Rhie.
