Saturday, May 1 – the awesomest practice walk yet…

April 30, 2010

Tomorrow’s Big Parade practice walk is going to be amazing, I promise – but a few cautions are in order, because there’s a huge human/migrant rights rally downtown…

So…. We still meet at the bottom of the Angel’s Flight Stairway – Hill & 4th – at 9AM. From there, the route has been changed a bit, because of Saturday’s human/migrant rights rally in downtown Los Angeles. If you’re driving, parking could be difficult.

Some suggestions: The walk will end at the Lincoln Heights Metro Gold Line station, north of downtown. Parking around there would be a good idea; you can then take the Gold Line to Union Station. If you’re planning to do that, the route will pass by Union Station – please be in front of the station at 9:15AM at the latest.

Or, take the bus to the start point. The Number 2 and Number 4 buses both run down Sunset Boulevard and stops at Hill St., just in front of Angel’s Flight. You could park somewhere on Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park and bus it. The bus and the train cost $1.25 per entry; everyone should bring quarters since we’re all taking the Gold Line back to Union Station (and then the start point) at the end.

Total mileage: 12
Total awesome: Redonkulously infinite.

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.
