Walking 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.
