There are a few tours that are fully booked but there are so many more
that still have room. In fact, we have a number of tours that may end
up getting canceled in the next week due to low enrollment numbers. We
don't want that to happen so we have released all enrollment
restrictions to the tours, non-registrants can now sign up. See below
for details. I particularly wish to encourage those of you who live in
LA to participate in the downtown walking tours and bring your friends
and relatives. Downtown has changed a great deal over the last decade
and there is so much more to see than a trip to the Music Center would
lead you to believe. Of course, that applies to all of you
non-Angelenos too.
Here are some of the tours that are at risk for cancellation and the
reasons I think you should all be signing up for them:
LA Public Libraries - Now I recently sent out that nice long e-mail
about this tour on the heels of quite a discussion on ARLIS-L about the
Public Library Division. So, where are you guys? The sight-seeing on
the bus as you travel from library to library is a tour all on its own.
And you get lunch too.
Autry Museum of Western Heritage - This museum is so much fun and I
just can't believe you didn't take my original e-mail about it to heart
and hurry to sign up for it. If I had to choose a tour to take kids on
this would be it but that shouldn't discourage anyone from going. It
isn't just about kid-stuff. And for you shoppers out there, I'd rank
this in my top ten of museum gift shops.
Pershing Square Landmarks - So I didn't exactly get around to issuing a
sneak preview about this tour. Honestly, it's because Angel's Flight,
originally scheduled to be on the tour, had a major problem last month
and is closed for repairs. How's that for full disclosure? Don't let
that stop you from taking this tour though. Pershing Square used to be
one of those places that you'd scurry away from but not anymore. It's
all spruced up and has a pretty spectacular water fountain too. The
tour includes visits to the historic Bradbury Building (you may
recognize it from the movie "Blade Runner") and LA's Grand Central
Market.
Union Station and San Juan Capistrano - The day I sent out the sneak
preview about both of these places I came home to find the there were
articles about both in my Westways magazine. The articles are
available online at: http://www.aaa-calif.com/westways/index.asp
