Get your kicks with me on Route 66

Just because the memories of my big parade day may be fading, that doesn’t

mean my reign is over– it’s far from it!! 

 

On March 1st, I will be joining Esotouric for its new adventure, “Reyner Banham Loves Los Angeles: Route 66.” I will offer my wise and witty commentary on downtown Covina (all four blocks, woo hoo!), the story of Azusa Pacific University and the famous – and almost destroyed – Azusa Drive-In sign and more.

 

If you’re extra good, I might even tell you the location of Meth Alley. This small segment of Covina is located on a main thoroughfare and has received its name from the police who patrol it. It will definitely surprise you, as it looks extremely innocuous and, honestly, I’ve never noticed any kind of suspicious activity there except by the cops…

 

Here’s some information on the tour, please visit www.esotouric.com for tour summary and more.
