I was born and raised in LA and this book opened my eyes to places I never knew about! About 6 months ago I got a fit bit and it’s recommended that I walk 10,000 steps a day and I was shocked at how little I walk during the work week. So I’ve been trying to walk more in the mornings, evenings and after work, but there’s nothing exciting around where I live. This book has encouraged me to get off my butt and discover these interesting places to walk to/around. I feel like I’m getting to know my city in a way I never had before. The pictures in the book also help me visualize where I’m about to go explore before I even get there.
I’m an East Coast guy who took a while to develop an appreciation for L.A. I wish this book was around when I moved here. Haddad’s enthusiasm & knowledge shine through on every page. Well-written & well-curated. I can’t do the treadmill thing and have already done 4 of these walks, including one in Baldwin Hills near my house. I had no idea about its history of the broken dam that killed 5 people & wiped out 250 homes. The book uncovers decades of layers like that. Also did the one that takes you to all the old canals that used to line Venice Beach. Can’t wait to hit the old western towns in the valley!
I live in a part of LA that is rich in history, and this book nails both my Eastside hood and so many others I knew little about. The narration does a great job of providing details without getting too in the weeds, a nice mix of cultural-historic landmarks and pop culture trivia – for example, anyone who loves Walt Disney will find a lot of references to his life in the walks. The directions are easy to follow, with really clear maps. I like how the text is highlighted whenever there’s a directional change. Great gift for Angeleno friends or newbies who love exploring the city by foot.
