Life can get in the way of blogging sometimes! <br /><br />The Militant will DEFINITELY be there on Sunday to ride to the Eastside!

Was starting to worry.<br /><br />I often take the current Gold Line to my sweetie-pies's pad in Garvanza; now I'll have more to look at on the trip. <br /><br />Blaze a trail & let us know what the new leg is like when it opens.M.

8: The Mi...highlandpark: Thanks for your insights!<br /><br />8: The Militant may or may not have remembered that UFO now that you mentioned it! Though it's seemed to have stayed in the same location ever since the Gold Line opened in '03.<br /><br />9: No you're right, there is a real flamingo in the bird zoo.<br /><br />14. Are you sure? The Militant was referring to the steel railroad bridge, which is obviously 20th century in construction. Surely many bridges were built before the 1900s.<br /><br />17: Thanks, the Militant knows about the Cycleway, and hopes to re-trace its path in a future post, but there's little to no map data on it.Militant Angelenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613730063623882008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-19615621531166791092009-11-10T11:59:43.994-08:002009-11-10T11:59:43.994-08:00Great job!

(Have too, I live within 50 feet of its tracks!) <br /><br />Re: #8, For years, the UFO sat in the parking lot of a burger stand on Fountain and Vermont, poignantly a block away from Scientology world headquarters. Now its owned by a Lincoln Heights resident who brings it out each year in the Lincoln Heights Christmas Parade. (Oh, and that scrap yard is the Northeast LA Official Police Garage. It's where impounded and abandoned vehicles get towed to in NELA.) <br /><br />RE: #9. I could have sworn I saw a flamingo here once. Maybe it was just plastic?<br /><br />RE: #11 Love that walkway. It's a totally forgotten path from the glory days of Sycamore Grove park. LA Commons is doing a temporary mural project there soon. <br /><br />RE: #14 Oldest bridge in LA. <br /><br />RE: #16 The only bridge designed by Greene & Greene, used to access the Pacific Electric streetcar on Fair Oaks. (Also off to the right one can see the construction of the annual Southpas Rose Float.)<br /><br />RE: #17 That path on the left side of the tracks WAS a bike path once a hundred years ago: The California Cycleway, an elevated wooden track designed to run from Pasadena to Los Angeles.<br /><br />RE: #27a: That's a big sandwich!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-70042330784975073212009-11-10T08:00:07.934-08:002009-11-10T08:00:07.934-08:00I tip my sombrero to you for this excellent post, ...I tip my sombrero to you for this excellent post, Militant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
