{"product_id":"9781634990318","title":"Crescenta Valley History: Hidden In Plain Sight","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe Crescenta Valley is a typical suburb of the metropolis of Los Angeles, containing residential neighborhoods nestled in chaparral-covered hills. But hidden in these typical neighborhoods are remnants of an atypical past, a past made up of Hollywood legends, Prohibition-era bootleggers, and pioneers in women's rights. Crescenta Valley History: Hidden in Plain Sight tells the stories behind six places in the community that residents pass by every day, with no idea of the amazing events that took place there--six innocuous locations with impressive histories.\u003cbr\u003eA little shack behind an apartment that was once the home of John Steinbeck; the overgrown ruins of a former speakeasy; an abandoned sanitarium that once housed aging Hollywood stars, and now houses their ghosts; a mystical religious sanctuary run entirely by women; a former resort and Olympic training site buried deep under a suburban shopping mall; and a park created by professional baseball players and movie stars. All these sites are right here in your neighborhood! You'll never look at the Crescenta Valley the same way again.","brand":"America Through Time","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050458333424,"sku":"9781634990318","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781634990318_p0.jpg?v=1763681788","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781634990318","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
