Mark Groubert's cover story in the new LA Weekly jumps seven times on the web — but drew me all the way to the end. He found a box of somebody's belongings left out on Mariposa Avenue in Los Feliz — "you know the box. The box that's left by folks who are [moving] home to Wallace, Idaho, or Quincy, Illinois....Small-town America. The places where dreams are born." Each item Groubert takes from the box piques his interest more, then he gets to the Super-8 footage on DVD. The tale of a family unfolds from there, with some nicely done intersections with Groubert's own life. No spoilers here; just go read it.
