Great Michael Vick Picture
I don’t know who to credit with this, but it was forwarded to my friend Patti and I love it. It brought a smile to me and I hope it will to you too.

“Isis-Cam” Is Coming
I’ve been slow about taking pictures - they have to be right time of day or shadows screw things up. Plus most of the stuff I see on walks looks way more impressive in video.
Carrying my camera in “video-mode” is not practical either - I wanted “steath” video, like in a hat or something.
Then I saw [...]

A Strip Club Opened At 5th And Main St.
Unfortunately, not my kind of action… but to each their own…

I Thought Dog Fighting Was For Compton Thugs?
I cannot believe this NFL “star” Michael Vick, quaterback for Atlanta Falcons, was arrested with huge dogfighting charges. Every story I read about his actions brings tears to my eyes and makes me hope that the justice system will not let some “thug” go with a small fine or probation just because he is a “star”. And of [...]

Downtown Is A “Set” For So Many Productions
I can barely walk a day without seeing a production company setting up, tearing down, or actually filming (a movie, commercial, TV show, or music video). Many residents downtown are upset because of the generally unannounced street closures, helicopter fly-bys, and simulated gunfire and explosions. A recent LA Times article documented this, and said in [...]

City Hall Goes “Green”
I thought I was imagining things a few nights ago- City Hall lights on the East and West sides make the building glow green. I looked around for stories of what was going on, and figured it had something to do with the green concerts that were this weekend.
I finally found the answer on another [...]

Angel’s Flight / Water Court Walk
I can’t believe I haven’t checked this out before, but I guess I was afraid the Water Court would be too busy with business folks drinking coffee, smoking, and eating on weekdays. But today Isis and I climbed up the stairs next to the “Angel’s Flight” inclice railway- which starts on Hill St. between 3rd [...]

GREAT COSTUME! It was part of a promotion for a zoo- but I have some new ideas for Halloween…

4th of July Walk To Dodger Stadium
It’s the hottest day of the year- 90+ but I needed to go scout out a restaurant or park to watch fireworks from, as at the end of Dodger baseball game tonite there would be a show and it was closest to me. So Isis and I head out for the 4 mile round trip.
Downtown was dead [...]

Annoying Helicopters At City Hall Last Week
4 out of 5 nights last week, starting at approximately 5pm, 3 helicopters would start buzzing by my place. At first I thought maybe there was a break-out from Parker Center or something, as they kept circling around 1st and Main St. Then when one finally touched down on City Hall East, and left in [...]
