I vaguely paid attention to news concerning construction work on 405 Freeway in Los Angeles.
I guess it did not resonate with selfish me since I live on the East Coast.
To counteract all the news of impending apocalyptic week-end, Alissa Walker shares tips for a pleasant carless week-end in L.A with It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Why We're Pro-Carmageddon (Good, July 11).
At number 2:
"Host a Farmer at Your Westside Home: For many parts of the city, business will go on as usual. Here's an interesting way to help someone get to work. The Santa Monica Farmers' Market is looking for volunteers to host farmers at their houses during that weekend so they can vend at the markets."
I vote for number 6:
"Bike the Empty Streets: If, in fact, everyone keeps their cars in their garages like they're supposed to, the streets should be wide-open for biking. The group ride 4PACOLYPSE is departing Saturday night at midnight from Mom's Bar and Lounge in Santa Monica."
With all the free time, those of you in the are will have you might want to check L.A Without a Car, Gelato Baby 10 Do's and Don'ts in Los Angeles that Alissa Walker (aka Gelato Baby) was kind enough to pen back in April.
