Thank you to everyone who read, commented upon, and shared this blog. Thank you, too, to all the folks who contacted the TTLA blogger with tips, suggestions, criticism, and praise.

Great thanks in particular to Juan Devis, both for inviting me two years ago to participate in this project, and better still, for his ongoing and incredible Departures series, which you can find here.

Much gratitude as well to KCET's Gary Dauphin, Anna Jordan, and everyone else who has a hand in the production of the site and its blogs. Especially big thanks to TTLA original illustrators Sketch Winters and Richard Neilson, photographer Brett Van Ort, and deejay Alejandro Cohen.

And finally, bigs to D.J. Waldie's Where We Are, Erin Aubry Kaplan's Cakewalk, Adolfo Guzman-Lopez's Movie Miento, Holly Willis' Blur + Sharpen, Brian Doheny's City of Angles, Ophelia Chong's 404 City, and of course, JP.

It's been a pleasure sharing cyberspace with all of you.
