The LA Times
Sunday, 7th January 2007 by Alex Turnbull
It seems that the LA Times has written a very nice article about us! The article is dated the 7th Jan, and as it's currently still the 6th in Los Angeles, we suspect it might well appear in Sunday's print edition too.
So if you're in LA at the moment, be sure and check it out! Oh, and if you could save us a copy that'd be great too... 😉
Update: The article did indeed appear in today's LA Times, on the last page of the paper's West magazine! So, a very warm welcome then to all the LA Times readers who are joining us today for a spot of satellite sightseeing.
About the author
Alex has decided that his title will be Senior Vice President of Stuff.
Am I the first one to say congratulation? Congratulation!!!
Time to start printing the t-shirts. 😉
just finished the sunday LA times. the article is on the last page of the magazine (“west”) and it brought me here. thanks for a great site. (and you can have my copy of the mag—happy to recycle!)
The piece is in the Sunday magazine, West, and is written by Dan Neil, who’s editor of the automotive section (!). His writing about cars is/was so entertaining and insightful the paper gave him “800 words” (the title of his column in West) to explore any topic he finds interesting. I read it religiously, and it was this week’s piece that led me here. I look forward to exploring googlesightseeing.com!
Thanks for the kind comments regular readers, and a very warm welcome to our new ones!
cherie, as a new reader you won’t know that we’re actually based in Edinburgh… Scotland!
The comments are working again!
T-shirt:
Who are you? Are you on Google Sight seeing jet?
yes rob, the comments seem to be behaving a bit better! Although actually we’ve all just been looking at old pages for a while…
christooss, um… pardon? Could you elaborate please?
“Charming little book”? Well, I suppose it is, kind of. You ought to get a bunch of new visitors in LA soon. Well, you might get more if the LA Times weren’t going through a big financial squeeze; clearly they don’t have as many readers as they’d like. Not to be discouraging though.
Um, btw, what’s a phallus?
Tim, judging by your comment here, I can only assume you are being facetious… 😉
Gotcha…
No, seriously, I’m no good at Latin. I know perfectly well what “d**k” means but not “phallus”.
Tim, that just makes me think about “Biggus Dickus” Lol! 😀
To amplify what Mike Diehl is saying, Dan Neil is a Pulitzer Prize winner! You got ink from one of THE best writers in the newspaper game. Jay O’Three also reads him every week in the Automotive section and every week in West. I had never heard of you guys until I read his column.
Good on ya’!
