Meet the Author of 'PACIFIC ELECTRIC and the Growth of the San Fernando Valley'

Recenlty I posted two stories on North Hollywood-Toluca Lake Patch about the history and current development of the North Hollywood train depot:

A great deal of the research I did for the story came from two sources. One was a special report commissioned by the Save Lankershim Train Depot Committee about the history of the depot. The other was a book, "PACIFIC ELECTRIC and the Growth of the San Fernando Valley." Both were written by the same man, David Coscia.

Today, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Coscia will be appearing at the Museum of the San Fernando Valley's storefront space at the in Sherman Oaks for a book signing.

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley gives a very entertaining and educational walking tour of the NoHo Arts District:
