Made-in-L.A. commercials, films, and videos now increasingly feature bike lanes, inverted-U bike racks, and, yes, even People St polka-dotted pedestrian plazas. From NPR via Streetfilms' Clarence Eckerson, have fun watching Yo La Tengo's 'Friday I'm In Love' video - showing L.A.'s premiere pedestrian plaza - the Sunset Triangle Park Plaza. Tomorrow we return to serious news.
