NELA Welcomes Me Home
This month marks what would be my sixth year living in the same apartment building in Koreatown–would. As I mentioned previously, I moved to Northeast Los Angeles a few weeks ago. It was a spontaneous move, but it was the right one. I lived in a 1930’s block apartment off of 3rd and Normandie. It […]
Thank You, Metro and LASD
A couple weeks ago, I wrote about an experience at Union Station where a Metro Sheriff made a sexually harassing comment towards me. I was blown away by the responses I received from that post. My blog quickly made its way to Paul Gonzales, Senior Public Communications Officer for Metro. Paul has been spearheading Metro’s […]
An Open Letter to the Metro Sheriff Who Sexually Harassed Me – UPDATED
You may not remember me, Officer, but I remember you. I was the tall blond woman heading to the Gold Line platform at Union Station during the evening rush hour on Monday. I was dressed appropriately for the office, in business slacks and a button down shirt. You were the Metro sheriff in his late […]
Kids and Metro
Any metro rider has had this experience. A mom and her child board the bus, and the little one is restless and squirmy. He starts to babble loudly, and then begins to scream. Despite the mom’s best efforts, her child breaks into a full blown tantrum. The cries echo through the bus and thoroughly disrupt […]
Can we just talk about how awesome it was that I jumped into a moving bus?
A few nights ago, I was meeting some friends in downtown for dinner. I made sure to check the Metro app before leaving the house in order to plan my trip accordingly. We were meeting up at 8:30, and that’s a rather crucial time to catch a bus. After peak hours, buses come much less […]

The summit included workshops and activities aimed at building the capacity of women interested in using their skills, networks and bikes as a way to create change in their communities. The summit was […]
Photos: No Pants Metro Ride
Last Sunday was the return of the No Pants Metro Ride in cities all over the world. LA’s ride had great participation, despite the rainy conditions (c’mon, if New York can do it in January, so can LA). Riders came dressed in the silliest and sexiest undies for a wacky day on the subway. The […]
This Sunday: No Pants Metro Ride 2015
It’s about time for my favorite, and probably only acceptable, event on the subway that involves a partial state of undress: the No Pants Metro Ride! Hundreds of panty-clad Angelenos will be taking over the rail lines this Sunday for LA’s annual No Pants Metro Ride. The ride begins at several different stations throughout the […]
2014 Year in Review for LA’s Car-Free Commuter
Hello dear readers! I’ve been on a brief break for the holidays, but I’m back! I was in Milwaukee for a week over Christmas and received quite the surprise to see temperatures some days were warmer there than in Los Angeles. I’m glad to be back in LA-LA Land and ready for more Metro adventures in […]
