The other day, I walked from the nearest Starbucks on Sunset and Alvarado, through the Echo Park hills towards my house. After a while I passed a couple of teenage gang-ish type guys who said ‘Hi’ to me and I said ‘Hi’ back. They saw me holding my latte and asked me sweetly and in exclamation, 'Have you really just walked all the way here from Starbucks?!!!' - It was seven blocks away.”
Lisa this is an awsome but kind of scary project! Good luck to you! Georgia A. Love

Who says no one walks in LA? I had a dream about doing something like this, but couldn't figure out how. Thank goodness someone did.

Complimenti cari amici(Dear friends)..questo è il mio solo inglese che conosco.

Siete veramente originali: da Igor, Sarah, Billy, Monica, Amber e tutti gli altri amici che non ho citato.così tanti altri amici potranno seguirvi. Un caro saluto a voi tutti da Ravenna (Italy)Ivo Cappelli

I did not say I had a dream about doing something like this but could not figure out how... Rachel did. I siad your project was awsome but kind of scarey and I wished you luck. Now I am quoted on the net with Rachel's comment. I actually do a few things that are in a way similar to this walk.

Before World War II Echo Park was a middle class neighborhood, nicknamed "Red Hill" for a concentration of political radicals living there.
