Where the samba takes you out of nowhere -- Visiting Santa Catalina Island and Avalon at the Amoeblog
My Los Angeles Counties series travels overseas! (well, overchannels). After living in Los Angeles since 1999 I finally visited one of the Channel Islands, Santa Catalina. Here then is a bit of history and my account of the high seas adventure.

Exploring Downtown's Clavin S. Hamilton's Pedway | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
If you've been downtown there's a good chance that you've noticed the concrete overpasses above the streets, but probably never thought much about them. My curiosity was only sufficiently awakened after the Los Angeles Times published an article about these pedways, which they described as being built as "the first phase of what would become a mechanized people mover."

The Cooper's Doughnuts Uprising - LGBT Heritage Month at the Amoeblog
Although it's usually overshadowed by New York's Stonewall Riots, ten years earlier Los Angeles was home to what's often considered to be the first gay uprising in modern time. Happy LGBT Heritage Month!

Dragnet - The greatest police procedural and realest of the real at the Amoeblog
Dragnet - The greatest police procedural and realest of the real at the Amoeblog
Dragnet is one of my top five favorite radio dramas. It debuted 64 years ago (and nine days -- sorry for the belated look).

Exploring Dodger Stadium Without Baseball | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
The other day I got to behind the scenes and explore the newly renovated Dodger Stadium. I'm not a baseball fan so was more interested in the views, architecture, history, landscaping and other stuff that might be more interesting to others who don't care for baseball.

Sriracha 101: Dispelling myths and misinformation about Sriracha at the Amoeblog
I love sriracha as much as the next person. I don't, however, think I take it nearly as seriously as some... which wouldn't bother me if they weren't so annoying and full of much misinformation. Here's the straight dope on sriracha. Lighten up and expand your horizons!
