      The Venice canals are cute. Like Toronto island homes (if all had car access from behind). Created 1905 by a developer. Some filled in. There’s @robert_ruggiero for scale.pic.twitter.com/CI5AkUi1Ta – At Venice Canals

          We’re riding big soft tire bikes today. Which means our knees and bums hurt. So many bikes out today in LA but I miss my fast & light Toronto bike. Look, it’s the famous Three’s Company opening credits!pic.twitter.com/SiJrx2L6TD

          So much great density in Santa Monica. 2 and 3 storey deals. Deep lots, lots of apartments. I don’t know if it’s annoying to locals but I keep looking “which one might be the 3’s Company walk up”. Needs to be close retail strip aka Regal Beagle. Wide roads tho!pic.twitter.com/sRbfRARjdI

          Something of a Frank Gehry day. Here’s his own house. The former Torontonian bought it this 1920 bungalow & in 1978 or so wrapped it in chain link, plywood and corrugated steel. Never appreciated how intact the form of the old house was from pics. What a thing.pic.twitter.com/TYriBbEaD5

          Today’s walk / bike ride. 28 human powered KMs thru LA. Mostly bike. Small sample size but so far: motorists way more respectful than in Toronto. LA is like Berlin: something looks close on map but city is so BIG takes longer to get there. Now a rest before night shift.pic.twitter.com/RUwWusnLbD
