A2: Memories

By

Writing on the Daily Kos blog, “leftyparent” reflects on the day in 1978 when he left his hometown of Ann Arbor to move to LA: “Leaving the progressive (though still provincial) politics, the feminist mentors, and living off the easy ambiance and egoistic worldliness of a university town. Leaving the youth-friendly streets, parks and circles (theater and board-gaming) that were so critical in nurturing my budding agency and talents. And where Mother Nature was a constant and at times mischievous life-partner, presenting me with a wonderful array of hot humid summer nights, crisp fall breezes and quick-charging thunderstorms that counterpointed and punctuated the events and moods of my life.” Readers share their own memories in the comments thread.
