Months ago, we had planned to hold the reception in the "park" on campus where students later put up their encampment, that administrators & police then removed. It would have felt awful to hold it there under these circumstances, so we moved to a state park a few miles away with oil extraction as backdrop for the recreational setting.
My heroic colleague bought snacks and beverages and and served them out of his trunk, which saved us probably $19,000 too.
Has anyone in #LosAngeles walked from the Jefferson/La Cienega Metro stop to Kenneth Hahn State Park since the pedestrian bridge went up? Google Maps shows a very back-track-y route and I'm wondering if there's anything more informal and direct? TY
My favorite LA story is how my next door neighbor in SF, an old lady who left Saigon decades ago, begged me to help her locate her favorite Saigon Chinese sausage shop. It was somewhere in LA. With no clues other than where it had been in Saigon and ONE word, I found it! (With the help of many Vietnamese Chinese people in LA)
It was in Rosemead, and her eyes lit up when I brought some back to her. ‘Nothing else like it,’ she said.
if you have to fly, fly into and out of Burbank. It’s worth whatever extra $ even with fewer flights, simply to NOT go through LAX
don’t plan a to criss-cross LA too much. It’s just so vast. Every time I go I do part of my trip on the west side, and the other part on the east. That way it makes it easy to get to places I want to go
Monterey Park has a huge density of many types of Chinese food! Tacos in East LA!
