White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I took a date to the “1st Annual Spring Cocktail Party” on Saturday, April 12th at Tranquility Base. This was a such a strange “event” (non-event) that it’s hard to put into words. I think the best I can do is throw out some thoughts from the evening and let you be the […]

Tranquility Base restaurant/lounge, in the Sky Lofts building in South Park, has started off before- Rich over at Angelenique was lucky enough to try the place as it geared up for a grand opening on Feb. 14th, and he had pretty good things to say about the place (Rich’s Take). Ah, but the best-laid […]

I just picked up Isis from Mettropolitan where she had the “refresh” grooming package, and she looks great!  I don’t know why I hadn’t heard of this place, but in a previous post I was lamenting the loss of Loftdogs and Jim from trainedmonkey.com posted that he was taking WonTon to Muttropolitan and was happy, […]

PREFACE: I’ve been having some frustration with my diet/exercise program and was starting this post when I hear the talk show host on the radio start a topic about how “men do not and should not talk about dieting around friends and co-workers”.

At the beginning of March, Loftydog, the pet store/groomers that was next to my building, moved to their new “Bark-er Lofts” location in the Arts District (525 South Hewitt).  I was able to get Isis in for one final grooming before they left, but now she needs a good clean-up and trim (thank god her […]

So I take Isis out for her 11 am walk and I run into chain link fence around most of City Hall- fence that extends to the curbs and closes sidewalks.  Main St. between 1st and 2nd is completely closed-off too.  Bummer! 
I was trying to avoid my usual walk Little Tokyo as this morning was […]

There is a new blog by a couple that moved from Chicago to downtown L.A. recently (they’ve been here a week).  They have a 2 y.o. Wheaton Terrier, and they seem like the adventourous types, and they have a very fresh prespective on downtown, coming from the midwest to downtown L.A. could be very traumatic […]
