Landacre Cabin featured in LA Times

July 1, 2010

One of the best spots the Big Parade visited (Day One) was the cabin once inhabited by Paul Landacre, a mid-20th century printmaker. His image, “Sultry Day,” is of his wife (nude, in repose) and a cat, looking out on a landscape of thistle and oak. You can almost duplicate the view today – though you need to squint to defocus the freeway.

The story featured an image that’s even more appropriate to the Parade. Here’s the image; check the feature – by Hector Tobar – here.

(By the way, I believe this might be the stairway – off Cerro Gordo St. – that leads to the equally amazing Fellowship Park passageway, also on the Day One map.)

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.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
