Here is a relatively gentle walk through a little-known section of a little-known corner of NELA, rife with solid local architecture and some of the city’s few “sidewalk staircase” streets. We will celebrate Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s World Series MVP performance. Pointing out what made this an epic performance. We’ll explain baseball’s little-known and seldom seen ‘Golden Pitch’ tossed by Yamamoto! Meet in front of the old-timey Cindy’s Restaurant, Colorado Boulevard and Townsend Avenue (1500 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90041). Street parking is limited so arrive early. Bring water, adventurous spirit, strong legs, a sharp eye and a love of stair hikes. Flashlight or headlamp suggested. No restrooms.
