If you grew up in 70s Los Angeles, most likely you had a hide out, hang out and a ritual -- and they may have been spread out across the region. Back then, even though getting from here-to-there might be a hike, the city was much easier to navigate. Still tricky, cloaked and hard-to-know, but efforts would always be rewarded. You took to map-making as you began to "design" your city, bus, walk, filching rides. I'd forgotten so much until I put pen to paper to find my way

What seemed like years away is now just around the corner. My essay about mapping Los Angeles by way of radio airaves is included in this collection of pieces that seeks to chart Los Angeles as only an group of insiders might. Pub date April 1st. #events #books
