Mar Vista Tapestries

I explored Mar Vista, a neighborhood on Los Angeles's Westside, back in 2010 for my series, "California Fool's Gold." Of special interest was a tract of beautiful homes designed by noted Modernist architect, Gregory Ain. In the process of the exploration -- and as an aid -- I made this map. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/12/04/california-fools-gold-exploring-mar-vista/
