I’m writing a new story that takes place in the Los Feliz neighborhood of LA, below Griffith Park and the Observatory, and around Venice Beach and the canals. Rather than rely on my fuzzy memory and imagination, I flew out to LA last week to do a little ground-truthing. Yeah, it was also an excuse to take a little vacation and see a few things around LA I had not seen before. That included the Le Brea Tar Pits, Pasadena, Glendale, CalTech, the Griffith Observatory, and some other stuff. Couldn’t get into JPL without a prior notice.
