Farmlab Public Salon: Douglas McCulloh and D.J. Waldie

Event Date: July 17, 2009 12:00 PM

Farmlab
1745 North Spring Street, Unit 4
Los Angeles, CA
(323) 226-1158


The chaos in the global economy began at the end of Dream Street, just an ordinary street in a modest tract in Ontario. On Dream Street, cash-strapped builders cut corners, low-wage immigrant laborers worked in fear of La Migra, and sub-prime mortgages waited home buyers longing to have a piece of the dream. Douglas McCulloh, who named Dream Street in 1999, followed its development from strawberry patch to homes on the edge of suburbia. How and why those houses got there - and what building them has meant - will be explored with author/photographer Douglas McCulloh and essayist D. J. Waldie.
