Walking in L.A.*

People outside Los Angeles have the misconception that nobody walks in L.A.

Missing Persons got it wrong in the '80s, and it hasn't gotten much better since.

My colleague Eric Hiss, a native Angeleno, set out to show people that L.A. is indeed walkable, with his 50-card pack of "City Walks: Los Angeles" released by Chronicle Books earlier this year. (Amazon|BN|Powell's)

On Nov. 28 (this Wednesday), Eric will be at Traveler's Bookcase in L.A. for a book (deck?) signing. Stop by, say hi and celebrate strolls through the City of Angels.

If you dig the idea, join him for a walk through Little India on Dec. 16. For the $25 fee you'll get a feel for the neighborhood, have a little lunch at a local restaurant, and hear from one of the coolest writers I know.

Update: If you can't make the book signing but want to do the tour, call Traveler's Bookcase at 323.655.0575 and reserve your spot.
