A long time ago I’d planned to go to Europe and visit friends this August. Due to financial difficulties that plan was backtracked to visiting a national park and/or visiting Seattle again. Due to further financial difficulties and scheduling conflicts (in Seattle) that plan was scaled down further into a couple of day trips. The […]

Los Angeles ranked #7 on a list of global cities that was just released. Curiously behind New York City (#1) and Chicago (#6, who organized the study… biased??).
