White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Some amazing pictures- I particularly like the last one as it shows the Higgins Building very well….
(thanks to Coleman in my building for providing this link)
UPDATE:  Ha ha ha!!! This e-mail was sent to the building’s mailing list:
“The article in the print edition (California, page 5) has a suggestion for one of our neighbors on [...]

After seeing many amazing reviews of this tiny Italian restaurant in Little Tokyo, I decided to take a friend there.  The atmosphere is both romantic and crowded, if that makes sense.   But the evening quickly went downhill once we were seated.
The reviews spoke of great “homemade sangria”- sounded perfect but the waiter had never heard [...]

Today, 12/29/07, I decided to take pics of the new LAPD HQ building from the ground, as I walked around with White Dog.  Nothing much has changed from the view in my loft (except the big crane moved to my side on Friday- damn!  It looks like they have crane pointing at the ground so [...]

Ok, now I’m in love with Mariah Carry- how can I not love a woman who loves Jack Russell Terriers?  She now has 2- Jack (in first pic) and JJ, or Jack Jr., puppy of Jack’s, in 2nd pic (notice the White Dog resemblance :-))  It seems like she is a little more responsible of [...]

For all you dog lovers, check out these new “hybrid dogs”- new mixes of breeds that are creating whole new breeds (and are recognized by the “American Canine Hybrid Club”).
My favorite, I think, is the Mini Saint Bernard… EDIT: definitely the Kimola, I forgot about the little “Polar Bear”.

I was ready for a “bah, humbug” Christmas- I really don’t like the holiday too much.  Out of nowhere, an old friend called on Christmas Eve and said that she was blowing-off her family festivities due to some disagreements, and what was I up to?  When I said “nothing” she said “great, I’m coming downtown”.  I [...]

I’m not a big New Year’s Eve fan anymore… too dangerous driving, every place has extremely trumped-up dinners and cover charges, and it seems like most bars in the South Bay threw fire-code limits out the window. 
But I remember hearing about the outside festival for past couple years down in Financial District, and this year there [...]

The trailer for the Will Smith movie I saw filmed in front of my place is out now, but the movie will not be out until July… lots of CG work still I guess.  But this actor is on fire with “I Am Legend” ($76.5 million - largest opening in December) and I am looking forward to [...]

I heard Adam Corolla (radio host on 97.1 KLSX mornings) rant about drivers that do not make a right turn on red- how they are creating traffic congestion with not turning when they are allowed to, clogging up the cars behind them.
Then I realized that as a pedestrian, I also am bothered by these people that [...]

I went with a friend to Morton’s tonite- I’ve been to the one in Beverly Hills but not downtown..  We actually went to The Palm first but it was a 1 hour wait, and it was 45 minute wait at Morton’s but they served the full menu in the bar, so we ate at the [...]
