I love LA, so spare the bullshit celebrations of its demise.

#Chancay will shave at least 10 days off what was previously a 35-day voyage to #China from #Peru , meaning vessels will no longer require a stopover at #Mexico ’s #Manzanilla port or #California ’s #LongBeach.

#Brazil -ian cargoes, which sometimes travel eastbound to Asia or via the #PanamaCanal, will also save at least 10 days of travel time

Financial Times · South America’s ‘made in China’ megaport prepares to transform tradeBy Steven Bernard
The only #chalkart event I try never to miss is the Belmont Shore Chalk Art Contest in Long Beach every October. This was my eleventh time (I think). Today's drawing was based on a depiction of Mary Magdalene in a Dutch missal from c1500. A passerby called her "the Patron Saint of Pumpkin Spice", so that's the title now. It was really fun to do this on busy 2nd Street, right outside a sports bar--Angelenos are pumped for ALL the games after last night's game. The background lettering was my first time experimenting with this effect--I'm pretty pleased with the result. #MaryMagdalene #BelmontShore #MedievalArt #chalk #LongBeach

This is an "oil island". One of four manmade islands built for extracting oil from the #LongBeach harbor. In order to not offend the locals visually, officials chose to gussy up the islands to disguise the industrial activity. Built in the 1960s.
