Santa Monica, a collection of Twitter pictures

With images from the filming of popular television show, the mixing of surround sound, and the live perfomance of a prestigious film composer, you might think these are pictures from Hollywood. But we’ve already covered Tinseltown. The photos of an art fundraiser, an Apple store and beautiful sunsets might hint at the city that’s really todays focus. But this first image, posted on September 22 by Diana Marie of Hawthorne, could only come from one place. “Yoga on Santa Monica Pier was awesome! But this Saturday is the last day #preusa will be there. It’s free so go

WTF is happening in Twitter pictures

Note the missing question mark in the title of this blog post. It’s a declarative sentence, not a question. WTF is really happening in pictures shared on Twitter. Why is it happening? Because of worrisome images like this one that Josh of Los Angeles sent on September 23. “WTF? This plane is scary small and circa 1955.

LA Fair Friday, volume 3

One of the most iconic images of the LA Fair, or probably any county fair, is the ferris wheel. So let’s start this collection with “The Big Wheel LA County Fair,” as shared on September 19 by Claudette from Van Nuys. By the way, I know that this is being posted on a Saturday, but there’s no need to change the name of this weekly series just because I fell behind.
