Every week I take my dog to one of LA’s many parks. I let her go off leash so we can both run and sniff the world as we please. The higher in elevation we go, the more the city come into focus. Los Angeles oozes around every hill’s corner like those commercials for Drano or Scrubby Bubbles. I love the trails for the views, but I also love thinking about my neighbors zigging and zagging their way up the mountains and what their favorite part might be.
