🎧 Artist: #WRDSMTH + #KarPart in City: #LosAngeles / 3224 Glendale Blvd,(G-SON Studios/ BluJamCafe) CA USA 12/2024 - Title: "Intergalactic" 🤖(I like my sugar with coffee and cream.") #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #BeastieBoys #Coffee #GoodMorning

Streetartwall. A mural of a robot with a quote from a Beastie Boys song was painted on the white exterior wall of a café in LA. The 1.5-metre tall tin robot holds a knife and fork in its gripping pincers and stands slightly askew with the words: "I like my sugar with coffee and cream." (and on the right side "Intergalatic Planetary")
Info: Located in the heart of Atwater Village, G-SON served as a recording studio and rehearsal space for the Beastie Boys in the 90s. The inspiration is the lyrics from the song "Intergalactic" and the artwork of the robot comes from the iconic music video. (By the way, the artist accidentally wrote Intercalctic instead of the word Intergalatic, but we won't tell him)

Unlike many #rivers that terminate in a #seaport, the #LARiver was never navigable by ship. It was more of a marshy estuarial system, fanning out all over #wetlands. The placement of the #LosAngeles/ #LongBeach #ports is actually kind of arbitrary as far as the river is concerned--but the river had to be managed to support #railroads & later, freeways.

Here you can see downtown LA thru haze (& electrical pylons). DTLA is ~20 miles north of where the river terminates in San Pedro Bay
