Sharing Secrets

Calendar Live columnist Jeremy Rosenberg takes you to the Secret City, a new biweekly feature where he will introduce people and places in Los Angeles that you may never have heard of, or were always curious about. This is the Los Angeles below the camera-ready surface. It’s a city of normal people doing less-than-normal things.

Come meet open-mic poets, gospel roller skaters and domino dons. Virtually traverse the city that lies far off the beaten path of the freeway, from oceanfronts to mountaintops, subways to surface streets. The journey starts this week at West Hollywood’s Stonewall Gourmet Coffeehouse, where a drag queen breathes life into bingo.

Golden Moments
