I write a lot about the history of Los Angeles, my hometown, and about Mexico City, also on Spanish Wikipedia. I used to write and edit a lot about Atlanta and its history... there's a lot 'under the hood' in that city. I also write about a few other random things... and a couple articles on Dutch wikipedia. Pictures I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons
