Questions for Laurie Pike

The Editor-in-chief of LA.com is the subject of today's LAist Interview by Jessica Ritz.

9. What's your favorite LA-based movie or TV show?

Mildred Pierce. LA is all about reinvention, upward mobility, and will to power. And of course it was beautifully shot.

10. Best LA-themed book?

Slouching Towards Bethlehem, and the White Album by Joan Didion, though not every essay is about LA. Almost daily I experience something that makes me say, "This is so 'White Album.'"

11. In your opinion, what's the best alternate route to the 405?

Walking.
