For #EarthDay : A brief look at the environmental journal “Cry California” published by the nonprofit California Tomorrow (1961–1983).

“No longer published but very revealing of Los Angeles & its environs is the #environmentalplanning magazine 'Cry California,'' Robert Winter.

'California Tomorrow focused on the proliferation of freeways, loss of agricultural land, out-of-control subdivisions, development at Lake Tahoe, clean water, clean air, and other environmental issues.' #envhist TheUnion (2023): theunion.com/news/echoes-fr…

In GIRL SHY, #HaroldLloyd 'discovers the woman he loves is about to marry a bigamist, and in a frantic race to the altar, Harold dashes all across Southern California by every conceivable mode of transport in order to halt the wedding,' John Bengtson. silentlocations.com/2012/03/19/how…
