Pre-Parade Updates…

July 17, 2009

Really, just a list of what happened before the parade, of interest to almost nobody. But it gives me an excuse to run this image, from artist Leo Politti, whose Angelino Heights house the route passed.

Leo Polittis Bunker Hill.

JULY 17: All routes and timetables are now FINAL.. Downloadable versions have been posted.

JULY 17: Camping is closed. If you haven’t received a personal OK, you can’t camp. Sorry.

JULY 16: A list of highlights and sights along the way has been posted.

JULY 16: City Council President Eric Garcetti’s office blogged us and told everyone in his district (my home district) to join us. We love you, Eric! Now, about that campsite permission – we’re getting down to the wire!!!!

JULY 16: WE’VE GOT MUSIC! On Sunday, we’ll be stopping for a visit at the Killsonic Kar Wash for sounds, baked goods, and a possible hose-down. The event goes on all day, so stay, if you’re not walking. Revised versions of both timetables and the maps are posted. A mass transit guide is also now available.

JULY 13: The Day Two timetable is complete. We’re stopping at the Corralitas Red Car property at the border of Silverlake and Echo Park, as well as at Griffith Observatory, and more! Both timetables are pretty basic – more info about where we’ll go and what we’ll see, as well as detailed walk-along directions, are on the way.

JULY 13: The Big Parade Flyer is here. Please download it and distribute it (Spanish version coming.)

JULY 13: The Day Two (along with the Day One) Maps are complete. See them here.

JULY 12: The Day One timetable is complete. Among our scheduled stops will be a tour of the Fellowship Park Way area in Echo Park, and a visit with the Homegrown Evolution urban farmers in Silverlake. Day Two coming tomorrow. See mistakes? Use the email below.

JULY 10: Budget cuts have KILLED Echo Park lake, and our walk has – sadly – been adjusted to take that into account.

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.
