E501 – Madi & Joe Do L.A.



Madi & Joe took the train to the City of Angels, and had several adventures in pursuit of the world’s best tacos.  You know… tacos.  The best food known to humankind.  Intersections with simpler living abounded, and we get the details.

Spread the word about the upcoming Gateway Green park closure. The entire park will be closed in the beginning of March until November for Phase 2 which is includes major facility upgrades as well as improvements for off road cycling and pedestrian use. Since this park is right off the 205 bike path I know some of your listeners would probably be interested in learning more about what is happening. Paul Dickow from Friends of Gateway Green & I are working together to get the word out about.
