Which Way?

The other day I spied this signpost lying between a building and a bush. Until recently, it stood on the lawn to the right, where Marine Drive, 8th Street, and Astor Street all converge. At one time it helped advertise Sundial Travel, in the green building to the left, but the last time I saw the signpost standing, it was held in place with a few sandbags. It took me a long time to notice this sign in the first place, because with three streets converging, I was usually (?) watching the traffic, but once I saw the sign I enjoyed it. I hope someone will find the other piece of Los Angeles and the other truncated destination and put the thing together again. I assume it came down due to the effect of our wet climate on wood. By the way, Naknek is in southwestern Alaska.

My favorite video store

When I stopped to drop off a DVD, it was hard to miss the bright reflections. Does it look like it's been raining? By the way, Video Horizons is one of the few buildings on Astor Street. The street is only two very short blocks long, due to the curve of the town along the edge of the river. Highway 30, aka Marine Drive, takes up much of what might be Astor Street if the highway didn't exist.
