Some well known, and some not-so-well-known gems – people, places, and artifacts of Los Angeles – along the route, including artist Paul Landacre’s cabin in the Modjeska tract above Echo Park. This his “Sultry Day,” seen and drawn from his door overlooking what is now (and unfortunately) the terminus of the Glendale Freeway, also known as the “Gates of Heck.”

The image comes from Diane Edwardson’s amazing Corralitas Red Car Property site – which is one of the places we visited and linked to here.
