The Walking Is Over For Local Man Who Always Walked

The Silver Lake Walker, also known as Dr. Marc Abrams, has died. While every city has a crazy compulsive walker (San Francisco’s was infamous for wearing tiny, tiny and very unfortunate shorts!), the delightful Dr. Abrams obviously stood out in America’s City of Endless Traffic and also wasn’t actually crazy-he was just very invested in lots and lots of walking. (He also did 4000 push-ups a day.) He was found dead in a hot tub in Silver Lake, and his age is given, improbably, as 58. Presumably, there’s some sort of lesson here about life.
