For many Angelenos, walking is almost a foreign concept; why walk when you can drive?
Sure, driving is the most convenient mode of transportation –especially when traveling long distances, but when was the last time you took the time to walk through the city streets?
David L. Ulin, former Los Angeles Times book critic, guides readers through the busy, and not-so-busy, streets in his book, “Sidewalking: Coming to Terms with Los Angeles.” Ulin also shares several personal conversations exchanged with friends and city officials, and offers his thoughts about popular architectural landmarks such as Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.
