An Interview with The Man in the Concrete

By Dan the L.A. City Bureaucrat - Monday August 21st 2006

the man in the concrete

Sitting just outside the federal building downtown, where masses of recent immigrants huddle to breathe free, is a much-loved Los Angeles landmark. Borne of a cracked sidewalk, lovingly poured in asphalt and welcoming us with open arms is The Man in the Concrete.

LJ: Good morning, Man in the Concrete. How are you doing?

MitC:

LJ: Great to hear. Does it hurt when large men step on your face?

MitC:

LJ: Huh. I wouldn’t have thought that. And birds?

MitC:

LJ: Oh God.

MitC:

LJ: Well, that’s all the time we have. Thanks for stopping by. No, please, don’t get up.


Dan Evans isn’t only your favorite mid-level bureaucrat, he’s also a damn fine Los Angeles Wedding Photographer. Check out his work at www.danevans.org

    Obvious question: Is there an asphalt-on-concrete Virgin Mary somewhere nearby?

    As far as I can tell, there is no Virgin Mary downtown. I would check Little Tokyo… the coffee at Cafe Take 5 is divine. Perhaps that’s a clue.

    A BVM-shaped pothole on one of the city’s major arterials would also qualify. Santa Fe would be too obvious, although that’s probably the most likely spot to find one.
