Explore the Wonderful World of Atlas Obscura

April 23, 2015 at New Life Church in Porter Ranch, CA.

Join Los Angeles Obscura Society field agents Sandi Hemmerlien and Hadley Meares as they discuss the mission of Atlas Obscura.

Atlas Obscura online is the definitive guide to the world’s wondrous and curious places. In an age where everything seems to have been explored and there is nothing new to be found, we celebrate a different way of looking at the world. If you’re searching for miniature cities, glass flowers, books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes in the ground, bone churches, balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of paper, the Atlas Obscura is where you’ll find them.

Through their country-wide Obscura Societies they offer tours of fascinating, unique places. Sandi and Hadley will talk about some of their favorite spots in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area. Sandi is a photographer, explorer and writer who runs the popular blog Avoiding Regret. Hadley is a historical writer for KCET and Curbed LA. You can check out their upcoming events at http://atlasobscura.com

The meeting will take place at the New Life Church in Porter Ranch, which is located on the corner of Chatsworth Street and Reseda Boulevard. The program will begin at 7 pm. This event is free and open to the pubic. Donations are always accepted and gratefully appreciated. Free refreshments will be served after the program and there will be a free door prize drawing.
