Walking the Line is an inspirational urban walking adventure that explores Los Angeles away from the glamor and fame of its well-known centrally located attractions. Longtime LA resident Roy Meals describes numerous little-known points of interest he discovered while tracing the 342-mile perimeter of America’s second-largest city. In ten-mile twice-weekly segments, he follows LA’s city limits beginning atop a 5,000-foot mountain, proceeding along sea-level beaches, and continuing through residential, commercial, and industrial areas.
