All I can say is that the caption written was what was on the back of the photograph as recorded by the photographer and the USC Digital Archive.

Nor were they in Playa Vista, which is east of Lincoln. The remediated wetlands are also in Playa del Rey. The remediation was done by the developers of Playa Vista as part of the deal that enable developers to build the environmental heartbreak of Playa Vista, aka Spanish for "gridlock" -- but that's another story. You can get a clear view of the un-remediated remains of the bean fields, just go up to the frontage road at the top of the hill above the eucalyptus grove and gas facility. You can't get to that hill top from Jefferson. You have to access it from the other side of Playa del Rey, either from Manchester Blvd or from the One West Bluff development entrance on Lincoln near the Loyola Marymount fountain entrance. When you're on that hill, you'll see a couple acres of the furrow lines -- clear remnants of the decades when the wetlands were used for agriculture extending from the hill to Jefferson.

All have sold out. We've mainly been discussing stuff on Facebook lately, so I'm sorry I didn't put it here. We are going to try to plan at least two a month for as long as there's demand, though.

]]> Comment on HANDSHAKE – We love you, North Dakota! by Kris http://hiddenlosangeles.com/?p=4384&cpage=1#comment-3167 Kris Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:44:16 +0000 http://hiddenlosangeles.com/?p=4384#comment-3167 A year late, but what the heck! I am a Santa Barbara county girl by birth, but a North Dakotan by choice. Love the family in So.Cal. Miss Redondo Beach. Miss standing up at the Korean Friendship Bell in San Pedro and feeling that peace and cool ocean breeze sweep over me. Of course kids miss Mickey, Minnie and Shamu, but...........can't pull me away from the North Dakota Badlands! Blue skies, fresh air, people pulling over when you are stuck on the side of the road are really pulling over to help you, not because they are a serial killer wanting to add you to their collection. People look you in the eye! Can you believe it! They also trust your word. If you tell them you will do something, they just trust you will, and because they trust you will, you don't want to be a weasel and NOT follow through! I know I have a key to my front door, I just am not sure where it is as I have never used it. I have neighbors and a Great Dane. Were someone to try and be foolish that is all the deterrent I need. It is bizarre to have no fear of masses of people toting guns in the fall. Unless you are a deer, goose, duck, etc, you have nothing to fear. You finally find the one thing that will truly piss off a North Dakotan. Mention the movie Fargo or say "you betcha"! A truly ticked off North Dakotan may not seem like much by Cali standards, but.......watch out! Thanks for the laugh! You might actually get triple digit North Dakotan posts at some point, if God and Google allow! have a nice day! A year late, but what the heck!
