Continuing in our series on local history, in honor of the late Angela Romero, we sit down with Emma Rault, a writer, literary translator, a newbie to San Pedro and the originator of the petition that sparked a local movement to help Walkers Cafe be recognized as a local historical landmark. This past August Walkers Cafe was voted a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
Since Emma had only moved to San Pedro in 2019 you might wonder why someone so new to San Pedro would fight so hard to have one of its cherished local businesses preserved. In this episode Emma shares with us her many travels throughout Europe and the United States and why Walkers Cafe mattered so much to her, causing her to take action as soon as she heard it had closed its doors.
