White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I know I complain a lot about the immigration protests and marches downtown.  But now I will complain about a march whose cause I support but was really A NON-EVENT- a “Stop The War” march that went down Broadway, from Olympic to Temple, and then to the Federal Building at Temple and Los Angeles St.

This 6 month old sushi place is medium sized, not cramped like Komaso or Hama, and has a nice bright, modern interior.  I have only been for dinner (about 3 times a week lately) and have never had to wait, but I expect that lunch is much busier.  It’s in the heart of Little Tokyo, [...]

Although Isis is over a year old now, she still is a puppy, and, like most Jack Russell Terriers, she needs almost constant attention.  Yesterday (Sunday) I tried to take a little nap in the afternoon but Isis would have none of that- she just kept running in circles on the bed until I got up [...]

It rained some last night with a little lightning- I was hoping for a big thunderstorm but the rain was so light that I did not even wear a jacket this morning when walking Isis.  But as sunset approached this evening, an amazing rainbow formed that did a complete arch (which my photos don’t show [...]

The construction of the new LA Police Department Headquarters has been moving along at a rapid pace since they started going “up”.  For the first few months, all of the work focused on the 2 stories that are underground, and getting a sound foundation in place, with truck after truck of cement being pumped into [...]

I was just checking the dog blogs around downtown and saw a pic of Isis when she was at Lofty Dogs with Dodger dog. 
Here’s the pic- notice White Dog on left (although Dodger is not in this pic, I assume they were at Lofty Dogs at same time…)  It’s amazing, but Isis can behave like [...]

Although I was a little upset at not being able to walk White Dog where she likes (City Hall, City Hall South, and CalTrans), the event went off without any problems that I know of.  The noise from bands and the crowd control was perfect.  And while walking Isis around the periphery of the event, [...]

Since Thursday evening, lanes on Main St. and 1st St have been closed down- I presumed for another movie shoot.  Then yesterday (Friday) I find it’s for the Mexican Independance Day celebration (see video in previous post).  Hey, I always up for a party, so I come home and search for info on the schedule of [...]

I just took a walk around City Hall with Isis and found out how to better use the camera and some of it’s limitations.  The camera is bad in high contrast situations- when I am walking in shade but it is sunny in background (understandable), and I need to point my head more at what I’m [...]

I’ve been bummed because I run into many cool/interesting/scary things on my walks around downtown, but I can’t get it captured in either a pic or a video due to the clumsiness of trying to hold a camera while Isis is pulling, jumping, and barking. I tried the “IsisCAM” (video cam around her neck) but it [...]
