Interesting photography exhibit up right now by Diane Meyer at 18th Street Arts Center telling the stories of people living in LA without a car as a means for transportation. Before seeing the exhibit, I thought it was going to be focused on environmentalism, however, that was only one point of the show. It was a sociological examination of who comprises the carless people in Los Angeles, including people doing it by choice and necessity. The experiences and feelings of people really ranged and were at times surprising.
One thing proved consistent though- the Metro is not meeting people's needs for public transportation. For Los Angeles car culture to change, the Metro needs to be improved.
On display until December 11th
