Can't wait!
So glad it's the weekend. I finally have a minute to catch up with the thread. So many gorgeous posts. Thank you.
Some odd bits tripped over on the net this week:
Ed Fuentes may have figured out why our downtown streets don't
quite conform to the Laws of the Indies:

One of the Einar Petersen murals from the Rosslyn is up on eBay:

la.curbed has some previously-mentioned-on-the-thread hotel recommendations for
CityBoyDoug, including the Ritz Milner, Hollywood Historic and Coral Sands:

And, finally, the Getty has acquired three sets of sequenced aerial pix from Lane Barden
The Linear City Portfolio
Viewed in sequence on Barden's site, they really do give one a new perspective

Wilshire Blvd from the sea to DTLA (9 images)

The LA River, Canoga Park to the sea (18 images)

And the Alameda Supply Corridor (10 images)
