We started our four-day weekend (five-day for Aimee, actually) with a Walking L.A. walk, which we hadn’t done in a long time. This one was not far from us, in Wilshire Center and Koreatown, starting at the Wiltern. I’d never really noticed how green it is.



I bought this shirt awhile ago, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the Lego Minifig, and hadn’t had a chance to wear it yet. The tour took us past the former home of the Brown Derby, the former home of the Ambassador Hotel, and the current home of some massive religious buildings: two churches and a temple, all of which were architecturally interesting.



We took a detour to Chapman Market, a building so fascinating in its appearance and its history that we couldn’t understand why it wasn’t mentioned in our walking guide. I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was, and it was only after we got home that I realized we’d actually been there before, for karaoke with Chris two years ago. We’ll have to go back sometime – it’s quite a building.
