I just moved into a new skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles. Many of the other buildings around my new digs are new as well. However, there were buildings here before. There were warehouses and factories, for example. There are still many warehouses and factories in Los […]
I am not a driver. No, really. I have never driven a car. I have never had a driver’s license and I am ok with that. I have however been on many long road trips including five across the United States and one through a large part of […]
