By actual count, 85 streets, avenues, places, cul de sacs, lanes, etc., are named after saints in the City of Los Angeles. They are taken up one by one, with location in the City, and an illustration or two, and of course, a mini profile of the Saint and associated stories. The book design reminds me of a throwback to the 60's -- funky and fun to read--like the Whole Earth Catalog. Too bad the binding doesn't work well for such a fat book.

"Artist-author J. Michael Walker wandered L.A.'s many streets named after saints, uncovering their transcendent beauty. Combining meticulous research with artistic inspiration, Walker depicts historical and contemporary Angelinos as their divine equivalents. Proud, defiant, and illuminative, these "street-saints" reveal their own unique versions of sublimity and, in doing so, challenge traditional notions of what it means to bless and blessed." --Book Jacket.
