White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I just realized how I have neglected to mention my main “go to” food place- Liliya’s Chinese Bistro, in the Higgins Building. While I was dieting (low carb) from February until June, I had avoided the place like the plague- everything I like there involves rice or dumplings. But now I am back [...]

I know there is not a thing anyone can do about this particular closure, as it needs to happen for the widening of 2nd St. But I really did not see it coming- I thought they were taking 1 lane away from 2nd St, westbound between Los Angeles St and Main St- no big [...]

I am so done with trying new dog foods with White Dog. Sure, I’m into nutrition for humans, and I understand the concepts of avoiding simple sugars in foods (like candy, breakfast cereals, sodas, and other convenience foods that conceal tons of sugars). These are especially bad for kids, as the insulin spike [...]

I just got back from a great brunch at Weeneez- I had the Eggs Benedict, a side of bacon, and a Mimosa. All was above expectations, with the ham in the benedict very good and I would have called it Canadian Bacon if I wan’t told otherwise. The bernaise sauce was just right, [...]

(I’ve put on my NOMEX fire suit and am ready for all flames on this post…)
I just checked my Downtown Filming Locations Map as I generally do when deciding where to walk White Dog, and where not to, based upon what is filming on the streets that I follow. I see a film called [...]

I’m really looking forward to having a new place close-by that serves brunch on the weekends (well, Sunday only at Weeneez, but it’s a start). I’ve been eating way too many times at Pete’s on weekends out of necessity, and I welcome the new option. Weeneez owner Julie Rico really puts her personal [...]

Downtown in the summertime is full of free (or cheap) events and festivals- Grand Performances at the beautiful California Plaza ampitheater, Pershing Square Concert Series, CineMOCA film series at the Geffen Contemporary, Beerfest at the Kyoto Grand Hotel & Gardens, and live jazz outside at the Far Bar in Little Tokyo are some of my [...]

We attended our second-ever Downtown Dog Walk last night, and White Dog did a pretty good job of not being a pain-in-the-a##. The dog walkers meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Pershing Square and at 6:15pm the walk begins. The first walk I went on we walked to LA Live and [...]

She seems to be a little better with new leash and new “socialization” thanks to walkfido.com, so we are going to head over to Pershing Square meeting place at 6pm for tonite’s monthly Downtown dog walk. I think she’ll bark a little at first, but once we get walking she’ll be fine, as long [...]

When I went to the hospital last week, I was lucky that it was Monday morning, and I had not lost my mind in pain too much to not plan for some dog walking for White Dog. I called David at walkfido.com, who had previously spent a few hours with me for a dog [...]
