White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Last night Yan and I went out-on-the town and I when I first saw her I commented how much I liked her leggings (like many downtown dwellers, she likes to rock the leggings-and-boots look - as very popular in South Park area and well-documented by Brian at his site )

To my surprise she tells me [...]

The Metro system has been on my nerves this week- I guess every 6 months the bus drivers bid for new schedules and rarely do they get the same schedule. So just after you’ve figured out the idiosyncracies of each driver you may encounter (whether they typically are late, early, fall asleep between runs [...]

The Old Bank District’s 1st Annual Block Party was a great way to get into the holiday party mood. Main St. and 4th St. were closed for a block, a beer/wine garden was set up, and a stage for bands was placed at the intersection. There also were bands back in Harlem Place alley [...]

I was not joking in my last post about Ma Petit- I fully intend to exercise their menu to the extreme, and after eating breakfast there today, I was tempted back to try a pasta dish this evening. So I go there about 4:20pm (remember, I’m in bed by 8pm, at least to start [...]

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 [...]

I asked LA Lola for an update on her new puppies- remember just a few weeks ago she adopted an older dog thinking she would have a nice mellow terrier-mix and then she ended up with the “seven-for-one” special when her newly adopted Nina gave birth to six puppies. Who can resist pictures 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 [...]

UPDATE: Read Meeko’s comments- I guess they just changed their hours… I’m going to go celebrate tonite with a Kobe Flat Iron Steak- and praise the gods that Origami is still kicking…
My FAVORITE place for great food, drinks, and people, seems to be closed… I went by last night (Saturday) on a dog walk [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
