sidewalk

Santa Rosa Avenue has no sidewalks or street lights, so for safety’s sake, once it reopens to traffic, Wardlaw recommends that visitors drive the route.

The sidewalk adjacent to the intersection has become a memorial of pink and white teddy bears, flowers, candles and balloons for the sisters.

They are the weeds that sprout in sidewalk cracks, the elaborate graffiti that enlivens the drab wall of an abandoned building.

Footage aired by KTLA-TV showed one of the two cars upside down on the sidewalk by the Starbucks’ outdoor patio area.

Parisians, most of them children with strangely adult faces, stand transfixed or walk past each other, engaged in what the urban theorist Jane Jacobs called “an intricate sidewalk ballet.”
