White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I know there is not a thing anyone can do about this particular closure, as it needs to happen for the widening of 2nd St. But I really did not see it coming- I thought they were taking 1 lane away from 2nd St, westbound between Los Angeles St and Main St- no big [...]

(I’ve put on my NOMEX fire suit and am ready for all flames on this post…)
I just checked my Downtown Filming Locations Map as I generally do when deciding where to walk White Dog, and where not to, based upon what is filming on the streets that I follow. I see a film called [...]

Nothing really special here- it’s just that Entourage is one of my favorite TV shows and I was hoping to get a look at what was going on, but no dice. All the action was in basement at The Edison- should be a good season to watch as they’ve flimed a lot of parts [...]

Not much to say- I walked by this guy yesterday around noon on Alameda- kind of chuckled to myself that if I was trying to take a wheelchair down that stretch of sidewalk, with all the tree roots pushing the concrete into major “moguls”, I’d need to take a break too.
Then I return 4 hours [...]

I just went to Senior Fish for my first time, and the whole experience, including the walk, was just perfect. I can’t believe I had not been to Senior Fish before, as I walk past it’s brick structure on the corner of 1st and Alameda at least daily. I had ran into my [...]

Yesterday evening at around 6pm I was walking White Dog over in Little Tokyo on 2nd St in front of Office Depot, and a lady reached right for Isis and wanted to pet her and play with her- I love “pet friendly” people. Then I notice that she’s standing by one of those “satellite [...]

Well, I knew it would happen eventually, the way people walk like idiots. I have all my dog walks planned so that any grass is always on the right side, as I walk w/ White Dog on my right, and it seems natural as you drive on the right side of road.
So this a.m. [...]

I love listening to music, and I use an IPod when I workout, but I was always afraid to use it when walking around as I wanted to be aware of people/bikes/skateboards coming up behind me, and did not want to be distracted.
Yesterday I decided to wear IPod home from gym and WOW! did [...]

It used to be that the homeless would come to beach areas in winter time- I heard that many were from out of state and wanted to get away from snow. Now, as of last week, I am seeing more homeless are sleeping on street in my hood. Most seem harmless and [...]

I was walking home today from a stop at Grand Street Market, and I ran into my homeless friend Troy (he is usually found on Broadway between 3rd and 2nd St.) I don’t know why, maybe I was feeling “chatty”, but I sat down on sidewalk with him and we did chat for awhile.
Then [...]
