When Pablo Capra, The Canyon Chronicle’s (and Topanga’s) intrepid researcher of Topanga history, began reading old newspapers, he discovered numerous vignettes that caught his attention but weren’t relevant to the books and articles he was writing. Too small to publish on their own, we found them interesting and amusing enough to present them as ongoing glimpses into our local history and start with these. Pablo encourages you to support the Topanga Historical Society by becoming a member or buying a book at www.topangahistoricalsociety.org.
