About Me
Hi! I'm Alan LaGuardia, a Los Angeles-based journalist, editor, content strategist, ideation specialist and photographer. I've written for the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Sacramento Bee, Orlando Sentinel and many public-facing and business-to-business websites and publications.
In my spare time, I enjoy the cityscape and architecture/design of LA via foot or two wheels, and cook (and eat) as much as is healthfully possible.
My Latest Work
Port of Call Long Beach
Chasing the path of the L.A. River southward and out of the twisted mess of traffic that is Central L.A., the 710 freeway abruptly funnels cars into a snaking path of multiple options: Piers A-E. Terminal Island. Cruise Terminal/Queen Mary. Unless they’re working on a container ship, visitors tend to take the last option and head toward the instantly recognizable and one-of-a-kind Long Beach Cruise Terminal.What awaits is a wholly original world of multifaceted tourist options, retro-opulence and truly one-of-a-kind experiences nestled in between cosmopolitan downtown Long Beach and the imposing, mecha-kaiju-esque gantry cranes of the nation’s largest shipping complex.
Mixed Plates: Peru's 'Gastronomia Mestiza' Spans Centuries, Continents
In a global society, it’s hard to envision a time when markets were not well stocked with products that have their origins in every corner of the world, fresh and ready to savor. However, it’s only been a fraction of human existence where meats and produce now considered staples were available to those who lived outside their native regions.
AppleTV+ Special Section for LA TImes: Ted Lasso
An in-universe special print section for AppleTV+ series Ted Lasso's FYC campaign. My roles included content ideation, art direction, comms and edits.
Amid pandemic, this Atwater Village chicken restaurant is thriving
It’s likely no one would prefer to open a business during one of the most challenging times in history. However, when Chicken N Chips, an Australian-style rotisserie chicken restaurant, enlivened a sleepy stretch of Fletcher Dr. in Atwater Village at the beginning of 2020, its founders had done exactly that.
A marvel of Mid-Century architecture and design
Stepping off the plane at Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), you’re immediately pulled into the sight of the San Jacinto Mountains. The relaxed vibe of the airport, with an outdoor setting, puts travelers at ease immediately.
