Description
Walking the Line is an inspirational urban walking adventure that explores Los Angeles, away from the glamor and fame of its well-known centrally located attractions.
Longtime LA resident Roy Meals describes numerous little-known points of interest he discovered while tracing the 342-mile perimeter of America's second-largest city. In ten-mile twice-weekly segments, he follows LA's city limits beginning atop a 5,000-foot mountain, proceeding along sea-level beaches, and continuing through residential, commercial, and industrial areas.
He samples ethnic delicacies, races go-karts, pets a giraffe, suffers landfill ejection, paints graffiti, and takes hang gliding and fencing lessons. For LA residents and visitors, this is a unique guide to under-appreciated and fascinating local attractions. Highlights include:Full chapters on attraction-dense areas: Venice, Griffith Park, San Pedro and Wilmington7 wilderness hikes in the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains27 urban segments, including Sylmar, Brentwood, South LA, Boyle Heights, North Hollywood, and Eagle Rock107 color photographs
Regardless of readers' home turf, Walking the Line encourages everyone to escape their own neighborhoods, venture forth on foot, and make interesting, life-enriching discoveries.
