The Truth About Bob Hope Park - Tuesday 8/28/2007


The truth is, I could take a photograph that would edit out the huge power towers that stomp through Bob Hope Park. And I could neglect to mention that in addition to the menacing pop and crackle of the electric lines overhead is almost drowned out by the sound of cars rushing past on the 134.

But the truth is also that green space is better than gray space. And the truth is also that kids come here to play, and adults come here to run, or picnic, or rest. And if you go there between work and your writing group, you can spread out a blanket and fall asleep pretending that the traffic is water rushing through the funky little stream bed.

Foggy Morning - Tuesday 3/20/2007


You have to forgive a lot in the city sometimes. Taken from the street in front of my office building. That hill's in Griffith Park.
It's a wonderful resource. We lived on the other side of GP when we first moved here, and we used it a lot for hiking and to go to the beautiful observatory. Free entertainment! (At that time, anyway.)
I wonder how many hamsters are buried up there behind Forest Lawn. Three of ours are...Bobby, Meli and Bentley.
