What is This Going to Be?

As I walked across Expo Park, there was a large and unusual structure which looked to be in an advanced stage of construction. It had a very futuristic look to it and, while sections of it were clad in the final layers, there were other areas where the underlying structure was still exposed. I had no idea what it could be but figured I would be able to look it up later. It turns out that this is going to be the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Not sure when it is due to open, but it is quite an architectural addition to the area. I would certainly be interested to see it when it is complete. Maybe I’ll be back to see the final shuttle installation and will have the chance to check it out.

Exposition Park Cats

Leave a reply

As I walked into Exposition Park, I saw a cat wandering along the sidewalk near the road. I stopped to watch it for a while, and it became a bit nervous when it realized I was watching it. It soon retreated and I thought little more of it. I assumed it was a wild cat rather than someone’s pet. It was only a few minutes later that I came across another pair of cats. They were playing together and initially seemed interested in my presence and then retreated too. I assume that the park must have a few cats in residence.

A Twin Tub A-12 Sitting by the Parking Lot

Google Maps can really be your friend. I was hoping to find the time to get to see the space shuttle stack in Expo Park while I was back in LA if possible. I went on Google Maps to see how to get there and the layout of the area and I saw a tag for an A-12. Sure enough, the twin seat Lockheed A-12 is mounted on display right next to the parking lot. It is tucked in between the lot and a pathway over a dip in the grounds. It is rather tight to the parking lot which made getting shots a touch tricky but the early morning light when I was there was the best angle for it. I was pleased to add an unusual airframe to the briefest of visits!
