L.A. life in COVID-19 pandemic limbo: How do locals feel?
(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) In Griffith Park, on the leafy, shaded trails of Fern Dell, I watched Eleanor Barnes, who is 2, make her mother, Erin Bienenfeld, run. “I’ll be right back,” Ellie called out without a backward glance, as she boldly zigzagged and hopped her way into the unknown. For half her life now, Ellie’s North Hollywood backyard has constituted most of her outdoor world. She tuned out the other children careening along the trails’ twists and turns. She has yet to have play dates. Until recently, it didn’t feel safe to throw her into the playground mix.
