Car-Free Living with an Injured Knee
Not a day would go by where I would wonder how I would get by if I experienced an injury or serious illness. The thought would creep into my head as I would make the .7 mile walk to Figueroa St. to catch the 81 bus to work, and then walk another half mile up […]
Pictures: Golden Dragon Parade 2016 – Year of the Monkey
Chinatown was full of celebration over the weekend as revelers welcomed in the Lunar New Year. The highlight was the annual Golden Dragon Parade. Dragons, marching bands, and beauty queens got the crowd excited. I took the Gold Line to the Chinatown station to enjoy the festivities. Metro was definitely the smart way to travel […]
Under the 6th Street Bridge
Last Sunday, I made the difficult decision to pass on CicLAvia, one of my favorite LA institutions, to bask in a piece of local history while it’s still around: the 6th Street Bridge. The historic 6th Street Bridge, which goes over the LA River, was opened in 1933. It’s iconic concrete pillars and steel arches […]

Halloween and Dia de los Muertos Weekend: Part Two
Last Saturday, I attended La Cita’s Dia de los Muertos party, art show, and birthday celebration of my friend, Alicia. What a great time! Local artists were on hand painting faces, as well as showing off their creations. The crowd was great, and fun times had by all. Check out the good times we had.
Riding Through Country Club Park
One of my favorite feelings in the world is when I bike through a part of the city that’s new to me, and I discover something beautiful that I’ve never seen before. About two weeks ago, I rode south on Norton, a great street for biking and with beautiful scenery. I approached a hill, the […]
Viva La Bolt Bus
Over Memorial Day weekend, I went to Las Vegas with a group of friends. We did Vegas on a shoestring budget, especially when it came to our transportation options. I never heard of Bolt Bus until I was invited to join my friends for the weekend. It is a Greyhound service that connects nearby major […]
