The Second City
From which elements a city is made of? How we recognize it? Could be its limits, the places where people meet each other, its topography or its skyline? Does it really matter?
Coming from Uruguay, and loving Los Angeles, El Segundo came out as a surprise. Too diffuse to handle, close but not “on the beach”, with an omnipresent industrial landscape, sometimes deserted, sometimes full of life.
It was difficult for me to “define” this city, so I made up my own city monuments, my way to identify, get to know and love The Second, CA, 90045
