More info will be provided once you register in regards to how to make a payment.\nThere are a few minimal costs to take into consideration\, such as food and drinks along the walk.\nIf you opt to park at Union Station\, budget for up to $15 for parking\, $8 if you park underground\, ‘in the back’. \n\nHOW MUCH WALKIN’ ARE WE TALKIN’?\nYou will indeed get your workout – smartwatches and trackers will be buzzing! Typically\, we track a good 4-5 miles\, so wear comfy shoes! That said\, we move at a moderate pace\, with lots of stops\, and breaks for food and drink. \n\nABOUT THE WALKING TOURS\nInspired by the tours previously led by Dr. Mike Steiner of the CSUF American Studies department\, and the book A People’s Guide to Los Angeles\, the Los Angeles walking tours are designed to provide a link between local history\, community\, and the ways that urban spaces transform when explored by foot. Tour organizer Brande Jackson teaches in the American Studies departments of both CSUF and CSULB\, and also serves as the program director of Living Histories\, a non-profit organization devoted to community and creativity. She set out to ‘revive’ the walking tour tradition of CSUF AMST in early 2016 as part of her ‘California Cultures’ class and has since expanded it into a larger community project. \nEach walk brings together a mixture of high school and college students with community members\, who\, as a group\, explore the place they collectively call home. The walks emphasize the often overlooked and untold stories that shaped the unique history of Los Angeles\, and some tours also emphasize “the city as creative inspiration” via street photography and writing. A key element of the tours\, though\, is simply helping people see ‘their city’ in new ways; many participants of the tours comment on how ‘they had always meant to go…’ to the various stops on the tour\, and are surprised by the depth and history that such a small part of a large city has to offer. \nThe tours happen as part of a larger project coordinated by Living Histories: “Telling the Stories of Where We Are From.” Living Histories is currently seeking funding to expand this program\, a mixture of Los Angeles history with an individual memoir of residents\, to a diverse range of communities in the city. \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nliving-histories.us/walk.html\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n \n\n \n Share via:\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Facebook\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Twitter\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n More URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/nobody-walks-in-la/ LOCATION:Los Angeles Union Station\, 800 North Alameda Street\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012\, United States CATEGORIES:Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Walks, Runs, Bikes & Hikes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Nobody-Walks-in-LA_4x2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220624T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220624T223000 DTSTAMP:20220620T075020Z CREATED:20220620T075020Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220620T075020Z UID:10017837-1656095400-1656109800@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Metro Art Presents Summertime: Film + Live Poetry + Music DESCRIPTION:A poetry musical set in Los Angeles that follows the intersecting stories of 27\nyoung Angelenos over the course of one hot summer day.\n\n\nGet in that summer spirit at the next Metro Art Presents event featuring a live activation of the magical-realist\, LA-loving and transit-centric film Summertime at Union Station through poetry performance\, live music and more. \nConceived by filmmaker/director Carlos López Estrada in collaboration with young poets from Get Lit: Words Ignite\, Summertime takes place over the course of an imagined summer day during a heatwave as the lives of 27 young Angelenos intersect to weave in and out of each other’s stories across the city. \n\n6:30 p.m. \nMetro Art Bus Poetry Pop-Up \nFront of Union Station \nCome early for a sneak peek of the Metro Art Bus!

The director’s groundbreaking vision began at a poetry showcase where performers from across the City of Angels recited fearlessly personal texts about themselves\, their communities\, and their relationship to their city. The project was then developed around their individual poems and interwoven into a larger\, unified\, and gloriously moving narrative experiment — part contemporary musical and part sociological art. SUMMERTIME explores themes of identity\, community\, and intersectionality through the unique perspectives of this diverse ensemble and debuted at Sundance 2020 before its theatrical release in summer 2021. \n\nAbout Get Lit – Words Ignite \nGet Lit – Words Ignite fuses classic and spoken word poetry to increase teen literacy on the page and in visual media.
