Park & JMWB Walk

Last year, on the 2nd Sunday of February, I walked 6th Street from San Vicente into Downtown with 4 like minded friends. It was easily the most beautiful day of the year as it had been raining for 2 days straight, all the way up until about an hour before my scheduled walk. Then the clouds dispersed and and birds chirped and all was good.

This year on Sunday February 10th I will be doing another walk. The route is somewhat set although I have yet to drive it so there may be a few tweaks but essentially we will be starting at Echo Park Lake, then backtracking a bit along possibly Temple to Rampart, walking down Rampart to Wilshire and into MacArthur Park, then finding our way via some street to 8th and taking that all the way into Downtown the NE corner of Wilshire & Western and ending at the Hotel Figueroa for a beverage at the poolside patio. Total distance should be just under 5 over 3 miles and the start time will most likely be noon.

The starting and ending points are conveniently located along bus routes so transportation to and from shouldn't be too difficult...although plotting your course on the MTA website will be slightly challenging.

Neon Boy and The Gentrifier should definitely be in attendance and obviously all are welcome to join us. Either leave a comment or email me individually to let me know if you plan on coming so I can keep you posted on the details as the date draws nearer.

Sadly I have no catchy name for this walk so for now we'll dub it the Park & JMWB Walk...Echo Park Lake, MacArthur Park, South Park...
