Good Magazine - SKID ROW Video Series

GOOD Magazine may be my favorite discovery this year. GOOD's aim is to provide "a platform for the ideas, people, and businesses that are driving change in the world". They cover everything from politics, sustainability, education, poverty, food, the environment and beyond, shedding light on local, national and international issues and organizations. Great content aside, the coolest part is that the $20 subscription fee goes to a non-profit of your choice (I think there are 12 to choose from and $689,280 has been given away so far). Buy GOOD for everyone you know. I want to marry the founder of the magazine as well, just a side note.

I just caught the first two parts of a five-part video series on Skid Row and they are both very informative and checking out. I'm curious to find out more about the statement that Los Angeles is the first and only third-world city in the US. It's crazy how much wealth and poverty can exist side-by-side not only in a state, but a city - with everything happening a mere 10-20 miles away from "one of the richest economies in the country". More to come on this and "School on Wheels" later hopefully.
