@dlowan,
I can't make it, couldn't, wanted to. That was my point, that I wanted to meet you again even for an hour or so.
Ok, then you will be in my territory, where I lived for many years, something like '73 to '98. What would I like - that you see if you can look around.
There's a tunnel or used to be, to pass the airport, under Sepulveda. I had trouble seeing driving there, before I knew I had trouble seeing driving.
The marina, just north, was built in my lifetime, me as an early teen, just swampy etc place before it became what it became.
I was afraid of that area, some years later closed my car windows to visit friends in the new apartment buildings, as I needed to drive through Venice to get to their new apartments.
Meantime, I didn't know Venice's history. Interesting place. A dump, interesting dump, and I moved there. When I had a gallery there, still a dump.
I loved the place and still do, decades of living, but that is just nostalgia. We lived there a long time, and I took photos of the streets, still have all of that. But also, some interesting urban design.
To the south, east, north, I know less.
What do I ask? look north if you get a chance, and wink or blink.
