„As soon as you start walking in Los Angeles you are a threat to public order, like a dog wandering in the road.“
(Jean Baudrillard)
It takes rather more than a bit of pedestrianism to disrupt the public order of L.A. As far as that goes, L.A. can pretty much handle a dog wandering in the road, too. Print the legend if you must, but don’t expect all us Angelenos to live it.

There’s a man called Neil Hopper who runs the the website walkinginla.com. It features austere, minimalist records of his walks around the city. A typical walk might be called „June 23, 2007 Bell Gardens, Pico Rivera, Montebello“ or „September 24, 2005 Normandie Ave, Venice Blvd“, and that will be all the „text“ he provides.
