We did another "Secret Stairs" hike today. This one started at Via Marisol and Avenue 60 - just off the Harbor Freeway. We have driven down that highway many, many times - never knowing what was off to the side!!
This adventure saw us walking on the bridge over the freeway - always fun - and a little scary for me!! We started out in a town called Hermon - established in 1903 in the heart of Highland Park I think. We went by the Ebell Theater too, which was built in the early 1900's, and a charming outdoor venue called La Calebra that Harry said he went to once with Rusty to see Noah perform.
We also saw one of the oldest houses in Los Angeles - it wasn't much - but Harry could identify the features that indicated how old it was. It's still in use as a regular house.
There were only about 4 sets of stairs - the most arduous were a set of stairs (140 steps) that went - nowhere!! Apparently there had been homes above them once - but they are no longer - not even vestiges of them. There goes the neighborhood!!
It was fun to discover Terrill Avenue!! A nice street that loops around the town.
Wish we could pull these off weekly, but I'm impressed that we've done one a month for two months!!
(It doesn't take much to impress me!!)
