White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

…for at least another year, as I finalized the year lease in my same unit. I was planning on having to move, and had looked at many places, as the owner of my unit had expressed that he wanted to move back in. Then in June he contacted me and said he was [...]

A 5.4 quake hit today at 11:42, centered in Chino Hills. I was in my loft on 9th floor, with housecleaner and White Dog. I felt it first- kind of like someone walking heavily across the floor, as I looked at housecleaner, realizing the concrete floors were not moving because of her 100 [...]

On Friday, August 1st at 5pm, there will be an interesting event that is hosted by 2 organizations that I really like- Los Angeles Athletic Club and Good Samaritan Hospital. (Contrary to what you may think based upon me checking myself out of Good Samaritan, I think it’s a great hospital, and I was [...]

I really don’t know what’s wrong with me the last few days- I have been in a very bad mood, as any of you who read my posts and comments can probably sense.

I feel so terrible- I took White Dog out for her noon walk, and I forgot to bring my “poop bags” with me (I was deep in thought about where I was going to get my “fast food” lunch when I left my loft).
As soon as Isis started “getting busy” on the grass in front [...]

I don’t ususally care too much about politics- as far as I’m concerned, 90% of politicians suck. As the saying goes- how do you know if they are lying? Their lips are moving. But last night I heard a radio show host talk about how council-woman Jan Perry was trying to stop [...]

I blogged about this over a year ago, and almost forgot about it- Los Angeles City (put department name here) is very good about sweeping things under the carpet and hoping we forget about them.
I walk by these high-priced fancy toilets often- well, actually, I only pass by one working one (at 5th and Hill) [...]
