I know that as I write this I risk being publicly stoned to death for being 30 something and childless(I swear I like kids though) but what is Shane's Inspiration? I have heard other friends talk about this reopening and feel even more childless than ever.

Have no fear, for this Newbie is 30 something and childless too. But should you ever find yourself responsible for entertaining any pre-Kingergartener you should know about Shane's Inspiration, nine all-accessible playgrounds in parks all around LA. Our godson heartily recommends the re-opened location in Griffith Park: shanesinspiration.org.
