White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

When word spread that a new bakery was about to open in the neighborhood, I was less than excited, as I really don’t like sweets like cakes, cookies, danishes, etc. But when Rich over at Angelenic posted their menu- I took serious notice and was counting the hours until I could try some of [...]

Our Higgins resident poet and Fox 11 News Editor/Blogger sent this to our mail list tonite- I always enjoy her posts and I think it is deep on a few levels…
Two Is Better Than One
Two hands are better than one
Two legs are better than one
You and I
The two of us
We are better than the [...]

Yesterday (Saturday) was a pretty incredible day, with all the downtown activity and the freaky rain-showers that hit in the morning a couple of times and threatened throughout the day. My friend D came over with her Manhattan Beach (Maltese) Munchkins, and we made an afternoon/evening of taking in the sights and sounds of [...]

A few little updates about places I like to go to…
Redwood Bar and Grill has stopped serving the Brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday- such a waste! They are still open the same hours (11am on Saturday, 10am on Sunday), just with the “standard” menu. I don’t understand why they don’t serve a [...]

An old freind of mine from the South Bay, DGlobeTrotter, adopted a pair of Maltese dogs on Saturday. She’s helped me raise my last Jack Russell, “Jackie”, and been around since Isis was a 4-week old palm-full.

Last night, August 5th, LAPD took over 1st St. in Little Tokyo and put on a killer shindig! (Forgive me for not mentioning LAFD, some say they were part of the “Night Out” festivities, but I honestly don’t think I saw any sign of their presence there- it is no slight to them, I [...]

In the left corner, we have a cheeseburger from Hoagies and Wings, weighing in at 1/4 lb of ground beef- fighting out of 332 S. Broadway (you can catch a “bum-fight” right in front for an under-card before the main event).
In the right corner, we have a relatively new offering from Weeneez, known [...]

In keeping with the new downtown blogging trend of having guest authors on blogs, I am posting (with her permission) a great piece of prose that was sent to the Higgins Building mailing list by Debbie Kim.  Debbie is a resident of the Higgins, and an “early adopter” of living downtown.  From time-to-time she will send out [...]
