White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Last night I had dinner at the new Fleming’s at Olympci and Fig in LA Live. It was great to return to one of my old South Bay haunts- there was a time I was eating at Fleming’s on Rosecrans at least twice a week- in South Bay it was pretty easy to get [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday, Sunday the 2nd, was a great day. It rained rather gently in the morning, and made my morning White Dog walk very enjoyable. I was trying to decide what to do at mid-morning: hit the gym, take Isis to Lofty Dog Indoor Dog Park, or eat breakfast and sleep some more. [...]

My last post reminded me of this morning’s dog walk, and the last few walks I’ve had where people either stop in their cars and ask me questions or ask me for directions while I’m at a stop light (when I’m walking White Dog, I’m usually moving at about 4 m.p.h. and most people just [...]

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 [...]

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.

I was very excited for her, as she loves dogs and I know they will add [...]

The Los Angeles Athletic Club / Good Samaritan Hospital Walk Downtown LA event had it’s first meeting last Friday, and it was a huge success by all measures. I went to the club at the 5:00pm registration time, and was blown away by the turnout. And to my surprise, #1 downtown blog blogdowntown.com [...]

On Friday, August 1st at 5pm, there will be an interesting event that is hosted by 2 organizations that I really like- Los Angeles Athletic Club and Good Samaritan Hospital. (Contrary to what you may think based upon me checking myself out of Good Samaritan, I think it’s a great hospital, and I was [...]

Can someone tell me what this building is that is taking foreever to build? It is one ugly building- notice it’s complete lack of windows- is it a new holding cell for inmates? It is on south side of Temple St., between Los Angeles St and San Pedro St (or properly called Judge [...]

I blogged about this over a year ago, and almost forgot about it- Los Angeles City (put department name here) is very good about sweeping things under the carpet and hoping we forget about them.
I walk by these high-priced fancy toilets often- well, actually, I only pass by one working one (at 5th and Hill) [...]
