@James11Vernon and then it became part of a really good book!

@sherlyholmes roadsandkingdoms.com/2018/think-can…

just learned there is an annual industry-online trade show called the PIZZA EXPO and my only goal in life is to someday attend

@RadhikaAN i'm ok! i actually just wrote a book actually lol. that was hard.

@RadhikaAN for sure! that makes a lot of sense! fwiw - having a lot of unstructured time isn't necessarily ideal either (even tho it sounds that way). the grass is always greener!

@RadhikaAN i think that's a lot by anyone's standards?

@HawthorneCDOLA Just purchased :-)

Fairly often I'll make the assumption that somebody I'm talking with knows the late, great John Chase and this remarkable book and more and more these days it turns I'm wrong. More John Chase evangelism is needed, it seems. So buy & read this book! versobooks.com/books/143-glit…

@Sacha_Baumann @MattStromberg Huh. I'll do some digging. Will report back.

@NewArabella @MattStromberg It’s the bridge over the river where Alameda crosses the railroad tracks. The lamp on the other side has been busted and the remnants looks like glass. A great spot and totally perplexing.

This is a very odd shape. Is that on purpose? Did the glass melt? What is going on. #dtlawalkabout #dtla

@MattStromberg @Sacha_Baumann No clue! Where exactly is that?

@Sacha_Baumann @NewArabella any ideas?

@ArchivistLA @LAObserved July 31, 2020. He showed me his fav lights. Then we hit Philippe's!

Being in a car driven by Tom LaBonge is a memory forever seared into my mind. I know there are others who will relate.

@klwines Ahh thanks!!

@NewArabella Sent you a DM

@samavishay Happy birthday sam!!

@HawthorneCDOLA I would *love* to geek out on LA streetlights with you I am writing a whole book on them for @AngelCityPress and was just retracing Eddy Feldman’s steps are the DCA this week

That's the Van Nuys Special! Installed early 1970s. Three-headed cobra design. Also one of my favorites, though not nearly at Century City Special level. (I am so far down the streetlight rabbit hole...)

@franbig It looks a lil like a duck egg to me!

Is this a moon egg or an ostrich egg?

@susankitchens That is amazing to hear! I’m going to check out some old municipal records on Friday so will keep my eyes peeled!

@LAist and please don't honk at cyclists (or threaten them from your car) either!

4. Be kind to cyclists: Bicycles might annoy drivers, but the way cars behave is much more consequential — and potentially lethal — for the people riding the bikes.

There is such a thing as parking etiquette in Los Angeles (at least if WE have anything to say about it). Follow these steps, and you won’t be one of THOSE drivers… 👇 laist.com/projects/how-t…

The Bellefontaine. One of my favorite vintage streetlights in LA

@ACShilton i would very much like to know!

@GuardianJessica agreed. i think they are two completely different skillsets (but maybe i'm biased having a meager twitter following!)

@frankshyong's articles always find ways to unravel new stories about the city from a mole's eye view.
