Photos from 2023 #4: Neighborhood snapshots - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century
Lake Roberta is on my daily bike ride, and four circuits around it make a mile. I stopped for a moment to take this photo, which is one of my favorite scene shots from 2023: I combine errands with my daily bike ride, which includes grocery shopping. The nearest Publix is around the corner from […]
Photos from 2023 #3: Making a bowl with Anitra at Phoenix Studio / Gott Glass Gallery - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century
Susan Gott’s glass studio and workshop, Phoenix Studio and Gott Glass Gallery, is in the neighborhood, and Anitra and I had been meaning to do one of the workshops there for some time. We got around to it in January 2023, but I never got around to posting the photos until now:
TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992
The acquittal of police officers accused of beating Rodney King set off five days of rioting, an outpouring of rage Los Angeles hadn’t seen since the 1965 Watts riots. Playwright Anna Deavere Smith’s stunning one-woman play, Twilight, Los Angeles, 1992, recounts that time from 27 different perspectives. Jobsite’s Andresia Moseley takes on the challenge of portraying 27 characters to capture what BroadwayWorld called the “cacophony of voices at the city’s heart” following the King trial’s verdict.
Misery
Romance novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued from a car crash by devoted fan Annie Wilkes. Annie, though, has more than convalescence in mind. Top of her list is forcing Paul to rewrite his latest novel, in which he killed off Annie’s favorite character, Misery Chastain. Stephen King’s 1987 novel was turned into a hit 1990 film with a script by William Goldman, who here adapts the material into an entertainingly tense 90-minute presentation.

How livable is your city or neighborhood? Count the nearby “boulangeries.” - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century
To the French, bread isn’t just sustenance, but a way of life. It’s a good thing that most Parisians live within a five-minute walk from a boulangerie, as indicated by the map above. Paris is a very walkable city, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they coined the term flâneur for “someone who spends …
