Happy Birthday, Johnny Madero, Pier 23 at the Amoeblog
Happy Birthday, Johnny Madero, Pier 23 at the Amoeblog
On this day (well, yesterday) one of Jack Webb's snappy, hard-boiled detective shows debuted on the Mutual network. Only two episodes are known to have survived... you can listen to one here as you read about the show!

Shifters and sugarcubes -- Happy Bicycle Day!
Shifters and sugarcubes -- Happy Bicycle Day!
Today (19 April) is Bicycle Day, marking the day back in 1943 that Swiss Chemist Albert Hofmann dropped LSD, hopped on his bike and ultimately made his way home (where he thought his neighbor was an evil witch who'd poisoned him). Later his trip got better. Also -- I had NO IDEA that there were so many songs written about bikes! (Research fatigue)

Exploring a Section of the Old Glendale and Edendale Red Car Lines | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
Exploring a Section of the Old Glendale and Edendale Red Car Lines | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
Los Angeles used to have the largest interurban rail network in the world. A couple of weeks ago a friend (and her baby and dog) and I explored a trail through Silver Lake where the old Edendale and Glendale-Burbank Lines used to run. Now it's a strange, neglected, beautiful parcel and the frequent site of planned developments which never come to fruition.
