The Hollywood Bowl, its concerts canceled due to the coronavirus, reaches out with music and offers space to help feed the needy.

Whether we come for symphonies or reggae or to sing along to “The Sound of Music,” to fill benches in the back or boxes right up front, to eat paté or popcorn, sip champagne or soda pop, music has a way of bringing us together.On Thursday, cars snaked into the Bowl’s parking lot, with a long line stretching for blocks down Highland Avenue.Because it was the morning, not the evening, and no concert was happening.

Public gathering spots and their uses are being reimagined right now. So are the ways we work and the ways we help one another, both practically and in sustaining hope. “I’m a policy guy so this is emotional for me to see that what I’m leading is providing something so vital,” Gero told me. “It’s the difference between being homeless and not,” he told me. “Like a lot of people, I’ve found myself in a situation that I didn’t expect.”I met Aracely Rendon, who does office work at a law firm and has yet to be called back in. Her husband was unemployed for two months. Her daughter hasn’t been able to go back to working rides at Knott’s Berry Farm. She and her friend, Gilda Martinez, a housekeeper who hasn’t earned in two months, made the trip in from Paramount with Martinez’s dog Max.

People can afford cars but not food...sounds like LA alright.

A good substitute use of the time and space.

From what I remember going to the Monty Python show at the Hollywood Bowl, it was largely social distanced even back in 1980, not a typical concert crowd.

They have dogs & cars...that isn't 'hungry'.
