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 [...]

After my last post about how I abruptly left the Good Samaritan Hospital, I wanted to convey to you how positive my experience actually was, and how I lost my fear of emergency rooms and hospitals due to the people that provided the immediate care to me at that facility.

At the beginning of March, Loftydog, the pet store/groomers that was next to my building, moved to their new “Bark-er Lofts” location in the Arts District (525 South Hewitt). I was able to get Isis in for one final grooming before they left, but now she needs a good clean-up and trim (thank god her [...]

Ok, I’ll admit that I like getting manicures and pedicures. I honestly cannot file my own nails because the feeling drives me crazy (but someone else can file them). I like having short fingernails for typing, and I hate putting holes in my socks when my toenails get too long. So one of the first [...]
