White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I’m so happy I get to share an amazing story (and pictures) with my fellow dog lovers. LA Lola is a proud grandmother to 6 new puppies! They were born Wednesday, and it’s a great, heart-warming story that I’m going to let LA Lola tell in the words she e-mailed me (with her [...]

I was very happy yesterday, as the warmest October on record since 1965 cooled off a little, with partly cloudy skys, a nice coolish, non-Santa Ana breeze, and a high temp in the low 80s both downtown and in the Valley.
This morning I walk out to street at 4:20 am and am plesantly [...]

Officer, I was thinking, I have a lot of kind of “generic” questions about life as a LAPD Officer, especially one working Central Division/Skid Row. And I’ll bet some of the other downtown readers have questions too- maybe I’ll need to do a little “moderating” but I think everyone could ask decent questions w/o [...]

(If you are not interested in weight training or dieting for strength, don’t bother reading this post- you will be bored to tears).
One of my friends recently took up weight training for the first time in his life. His goal is pretty simple- get STRONG! He’s a young guy (23) and has a [...]

Damn Dog!!! If I told you my annual bedding expenses, you would die. And this is AFTER switching from Polo sheets to buying bamboo sheets at Target and discount Egyptian cotton at Smartbargains.com (I am now hitting up eBay as they have some great deals on high TC).

Downtown dwellers without dogs are going to feel a little left out this year, as two of the best parties are for DOGS! I am a big fan of Halloween- didn’t used to be, as in college I pretty much worked every Halloween as a doorman at a club (no costume allowed there), but [...]

Riding the Metro Red Line to Universal City and the 150/240 bus from Universal City to Encino daily is a paradox; The morning is really tough on me as there are not many people around- I have to wait almost 15 minutes in the cold, dark valley air at Universal City for the first bus [...]

If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I get annoyed with the street closures and “take overs” of City Hall grassy areas by marches for (insert country name here) Independance Days, or Stop The War marches, etc. But I just heard of a march that’s coming in a couple [...]

I have been following a po;ular thread on blogdowntown.com about the potential to have a dog park in Pershing Square- where there are many valid opinions put into comments- including dog haters, children-haters, and cat lovers. So Wednesday night at 6pm I was aware that there could be some sort of confrontation-there was [...]
