ON THE MIND:
Down on Broadway listening to this. Remembering I. Magnin's high-fashion heyday. Loving thy Oakland.

invisible 5

The beauty, the emptiness, the sometimes iracible hammering of belt motors, diesel engines, and tractors that is Interstate Hwy 5. Please enjoy a brief pictoral recount of my week-long journey to L.A.

I listened to the "Invisible-5" audio tour on my way. "Invisible-5 investigates the stories of people and communities fighting for environmental justice along the I-5 corridor, through oral histories, field recordings, found sound, recorded music, and archival audio documents. The project also traces natural, social, and economic histories along the route." Very cool. Check it out.
