LA Planners Compete for Trivia Title at Urbivia 2.0
The second round of APA's planning trivia night, Urbivia, took place November 10 at the HMS Bounty in Koreatown. Four teams of ace planners were so close in their knowledge that after two rounds of double jeopardy, the game ended with a mediated tie! First place was shared by the Michael LoGrande Funk Railroad and the MIGhty, who split our prizes - lunch with Metro CEO Phil Washington and copies of David Ulin's "Sidewalking." Join us next time!
