BRYN LINDBLAD | Deputy Director, Climate Resolve
My favorite Los Angeles places and spaces...
PLAY: To get out and clear my head, nothing beats a good hike along a shaded trail in the San Gabriels, or a camping trip with friends in Angeles Crest.
CREATE: I love the second-hand scene at the Pasadena City College Flea Market; vendors trying to find good homes for lovely things that haven't yet reached their end of life.
CONNECT: CicLAvia is such chicken soup for the soul. It's awesome to see all of the community engagement booths at the hubs, and to see so many smiling people on bikes.
LEARN: For years I've enrolled in evening language classes at Pasadena City College (PCC). It's been a really welcoming community, and has totally helped my relationship with my (non-English-speaking) mother-in-law.
LIVE: Grocery shopping in the produce section at Super King always leaves me feeling motivated to cook and looking forward to a healthy week ahead. The selection is something else!
