On Sunday We Bridge Walk

Friendly reminder that this coming Sunday, April 29th, Eric Lynxwiler and I will be walking a few of the Bridges connecting Downtown with Boyle Heights. All are welcome to join us in this exploration of the historic Bridges as well as the neighborhoods immediately surrounding them.

The meeting point will be at NOON at the backside of Union Station (Patsouras Plaza), from there we will traverse Cesar Chavez, 1st Street, 4th Street, 6th Street, 7th Street and Olympic Boulevard Bridges in a meandering fashion ending the day at Royal Claytons. Total distance is 7 miles and using my 6th Street Stroll as a guideline I suspect it'll take roughly 4 and a half hours....possibly less.

My inspiration for organizing this walk stems from a few different sources; one being the insanely beautiful photographs taken recently by Dave Bullock (aka eecue) another being simply my own desire to explore the Bridges more intimately than driving over them at a high rate of speed.

One final note to anyone wanting to join us, it turns out that Fiesta Broadway will be happening that day in Downtown so I highly suggest utilizing public transportation to access Union Station....or plan your driving route accordingly. Here are local street closures for the event.

Hey Shannon,

I'm a fellow Wilshire walker and I've been wanting to do one of the walks you've been organizing ever since. I'm really going to try to make this one!
