I thought I knew a lot about gay Southern California, but Lambda Archive's wonderful tour of the Hillcrest was eye-opening. Lamba knows every nook and cranny, every pertinent gay event that ever happened here. They make the history of gay Hillcrest come alive! - Lillian Faderman, author of THE GAY REVOLUTION: THE STORY OF THE STRUGGLE

"I have recently taken the Lambda Archives Hillcrest Walking Tour led by Walter Meyer and found it very interesting. A great way to get some exercise and learn about the amazing LGBT history in our community. Learn how Hillcrest first offered the LGBT community a place to gather, meet and take early steps toward the many FREEDOMS that we finally enjoy today including Marriage Equality and the end of Don't ask don't tell. Enjoy looking at up close and hearing the stories of many of our historical buildings and homes. Have an opportunity to ask questions and share your own stories in an interactive, informative and entertaining walking tour through the unique and wonderful community of Historic Hillcrest". -- Luke Terpstra, Hillcrest Town Council Board President Emeritus.
