I have just finished reading "Everyday Urbanism" by Margaret Crawford, John Chase and John Kaliski. Instead of focusing on the carefully planned and designed places that we are used to seeing in glossy magazines, the authors of this book focus on the incidental or spontaneous places and spaces created by urban dwellers themselves. Here are a few I have seen in and around Los Angeles...a corner cafe, a mural on a staircase, a barbershop under a house and a cupcake vending truck.
