White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I’m actually pretty excited about this- my favorite TV show, “The Office”, is filming in my building’s lobby for the next 3 days (and in The Edison, too).  I love the dry humour and the way the show is filmed, so it will be great to watch it happen- I think this may be the […]

Almost all of the glass has been installed on the facade of the new LAPD Headquarters.  The glass, especially on the south side, is very interesting, with it’s mosaic of etched (?) glass and regular glass.  From various angles, the building takes on very different looks. 
In the morning light, the reflection of the Higgins building […]

Walking around downtown, I get accosted by Christians almost daily.  If it’s not the obnoxious guy at 7th and Broadway yelling at the top of his lungs that I need to “find Jesus and repent” or the folks handing out religious flyers to all passer-bys at 5th and Broadway and 1st and Spring, some random […]

The streets had just been […]

Generally I enjoying walking around downtown, especially with White Dog, but sometimes the other pedestrians can get on my nerves, and I feel like I am ready to explode.
Lately, I’ve been running into, literally, more “Textards”- folks that are wondering around in a zig-zag path while reading or typing text messages on their phones.  I feel […]

Well, it’s been over 6 weeks since my last post- I wish I could tell you’ve I’ve been busy doing cool, exciting things since my last post, but I haven’t.  On Feb. 1st I made a pact with myself to get in great shape for summer; this is kind of an annual event for me, […]
