One of our city's greatest living writers turned 86 yesterday. Ray Bradbury, who has called Los Angeles home for decades, capped his birthday with an interview on KPCC, where he said he'd like to talk to Mayor Villaraigoso about mass transit: "I want to talk to him about getting rid of our freeways, because they're no good. We have to have monorail systems." He added that he'd be happy to have a station named after him. Perhaps Tony and Ray can discuss it some day over tacos.
