We cannot walk the floor at night in peace -- a look back at Perry Boys
Perry Boys -- so named due to their predilection for Fred Perry tennis shirts -- are one of the great, obscure and unsung British youth subcultures. Information about them is fairly scant -- maybe because the London-centric British media took years to catch on to what was happening up in Manchester.

Happy Birthday Wah Ming Chang -- Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month at the Amoeblog
Happy Birthday Wah Ming Chang -- Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month at the Amoeblog
Today is the birthday of artist, animator and prop designer Wah Chang. He worked anonymously for Walt Disney and George Pal before really making his mark on Star Trek. Among his most notable creations are the iconic communicator and tricorder on Star Trek. Because it's his birthday, Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, and with Star Trek Into Darkness in theaters, now seemed like a great time to honor this largely unsung hero.

From Confluence to Atwater: Exploring Along San Fernando Road | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
From Confluence to Atwater: Exploring Along San Fernando Road | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET
The Los Angeles River is coming back! What will that mean for the riverside communities like Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, Glassell Park, and Atwater Village? I explored the ruins of the Santa Fe Railroad's Taylor Yard -- which is destined to become part of a large, riverside park -- and the neighborhoods along a short section of the river's eastbank.

East of the Eastside -- the Far Eastside at the Amoeblog
East of the Eastside -- the Far Eastside at the Amoeblog
Los Angeles County is home to several official (mostly Asian-American) ethnic enclaves. However, most of the Asian-American population resides in a group of communities in the San Gabriel Valley. East of the Eastside and in acknowledgement of the implications, I affectionately refer to them as "The Far Eastside."
