LAmag.com, November 2008

“My LA to Z” is a new web-exclusive feature on LAmag.com that will ask well-known Angelenos for their must list about the city they love. This week we hear from City Councilman Tom LaBonge, who represents his beloved 4th district. The lifelong pol, who grew up in Silver Lake, likes spotting herons and egrets in the Los Angeles River and is particularly fond of Sergio’s section at Musso & Frank.
