Author talk:

Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World

“A romp, packed with tales of anger, violence, theft, lust, greed, political chicanery and transportation policy gone wrong… highly entertaining.” —The Los Angeles Times

Join author Henry Grabar for a talk about how the search for parking has shaped our world, from architecture and affordable housing to policing and the environment. You won’t want to miss this!

Named as one of the best books of the year by the New Yorker, Paved Paradise is an entertaining, enlightening, and utterly original investigation into one of the most quietly influential forces in modern American life—the humble parking spot. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Sponsored by Lexington’s League of Women Voters (https://my.lwv.org/massachusetts/lexington) and Lexington Transportation Services
