  • California Without a Car Los Angeles & San Francisco—2001
    California Without a Car Los Angeles & San Francisco—2001 [UPDATE: June, 2009—As I gradually go back over my old travelogues, I’ll be leaving the original text intact but adding additional comments in boldfaced enclosed in brackets to expand on what was originally said. I’ll also add some additional scanned photos to enhance the original travelogues.] “For Your Intellectual Entertainment” – the paper airplane sculpture on L.A.’s green line The famous “Hollywood” sign The Redondo Beach pier A red line train in the L.A. subway [The pictures at the start of this travelogue were included in the original version, though I must confess I took none of them. This was right when the internet was coming into its own, and before I had easy access to a scanner or a digital camera. The pictures shown here were the results of image searches for various Los Angeles area landmarks. I must say, though, I did take virtually identical pictures of everything except the subway car. On my old cheap film camera, it would have been all but impossible to take a good picture in an underground station.] [More than many of the trips I’ve taken, this one surprised me and tested my pre-conceived notions. I wasn’t really expecting to like Los Angeles, but it turned out to be one of my favorite places anywhere—a city almost completely different from the stereotypes I’d had of it. I’ve been back to L.A. three times since this trip, and I’d return again tomorrow if I could afford it.
