Details, Details, Details!



Here it is... the info on where the walk will begin, and what time:

The Great Los Angeles Walk takes place starting at 9 a.m. on Nov. 17 at the corner of E. Pico and S. Central Ave. Most importantly, that's at the landmark Coca-Cola Bottling Plant -- the Streamline Moderne building shaped like a cruise ship (above).

Meet right in front of the Coca-Cola building, and allow yourself plenty of time -- we're leaving at 9 a.m. sharp!

There isn't much right there by way of pre-walk food, other than a McDonalds and Burger King close to Olympic. But we'll be passing by plenty of great spots to grab food along the way.

What's more, Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer Jonathan Gold is passing along a list of Pico restaurants we can't miss -- all the more reason to come join us on Nov. 17!

P.S. Don't forget, if you're already on the email list, to make sure we're deemed OK and not seen as spam!

It's not just devoid of pre-walk food, it's also a bit shy of bus access. It looks like getting to the starting point is a minimum 2-bus ride from nearly anywhere except K-town and a few points in between. I may be very much in the minority in planning to go to the starting point by bus, but I would guess that many of the walkers would like to return there by bus as well...

Any city councilmember offices want to give us all a lift back to the starting point at the end of the day?
