If you have read my older posts, you might know I am not a big fan of the way LA’s streets are designed. It seems we in Los Angeles think every single street should be accessible by a semi truck and therefore have no obstacles on the streets because that semi might come, and when [...]

Eagle Rock’s Progressive Planning
Posted in Uncategorized on August 28, 2010 | 3 Comments »
For the past five years I have heard and seen much of the ‘changing face’ of Eagle Rock. More and more our town is described as a desirable place to be. Featured in New York Times, LA Times, Pasadena Star, other newspapers, local news stations, radio, online news sites like Huffington Post… certainly a wide [...]
Status of ‘Walk Eagle Rock’ for Next Few Months
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Eagle Rock Boulevard on August 20, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Dear readers, I have really enjoyed blogging about Eagle Rock this summer though unfortunately I will not be able to continue my regular stream of posting for a few reasons. Most namely, I will not be in Eagle Rock because I attend school in the Bay Area. As a result, I have little ‘ER related’ [...]

It’s no secret I like to walk around Eagle Rock, there are just so many little details to appreciate, so many hidden gems, and so much history, none of which can be captured to the same degree or even noticed when traveling by car or (dare I say it…) bike. Obviously much can’t be noticed [...]

I enjoyed a good bit of walking and biking today though unfortunately did not have a camera on hand for the first half of my outings. Today I walked from Oak Grove area to Delevan Drive area to meet the-soon-to-be-blogging-about-vegetarian-eating-and-fit-living hippierunner. About two miles. We then walked to the excellent restaurant Spitz via Yosemite Way/College View/Colorado [...]

There’s a bit of an 80′s invasion in today’s installment of ‘Alleys Rock!’ but perhaps I have already said too much, too early, let’s zoom out… Today’s alley is nestled between Glacier Drive, Oak Grove Drive, and Ruth Avenue. It’s one of the shorter alleys, only spanning about 145 feet. Obscuring it, and likely making [...]
A More Pedestrian and Bike Friendly Yosemite Drive: Part 1

I hope to add a part two, perhaps part three in this series of ‘How to improve Yosemite Drive’. Just a Note: In my posts where I re-imagine streets explaining the current situation always sounds similar, LA has long favored private car transportation over any other kind of travel and to no surprise, the streets [...]
