White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I really hadn’t seen or heard much about the event (still don’t know what songs Bon Jovi played). I guess I’ll get more info next time I go to The Edison, but a fellow Higgins resident took these pics with a little “point-and-shoot” camera- I think they turned out pretty good. Looks like [...]

I haven’t really blogged much about it as I’m too tired and trying to persue getting things fixed here in the building through the proper channels. But the last 3 weeks or so at Higgins has been terrible from a “quality of life” standpoint. No, the Heros filming, or the other events at [...]

Yes, that’s right, I’m posting something about politics without being 100% negative. I hate politics and still believe the joke that “how can you tell when a politician is lying- when their lips are moving”. But I also believe in listening to smart people and learning from them, so with that said, I [...]

Well, the big Heros show taping turned out to be a real fiasco- not only was the main parking lot for the building tenants shut down for 4 days, but the erected grand stand, scaffolding with lights, and the simulated red carpet, complete with 200+ people yelling and screaming, were enough to push some tenants [...]

I always watch the FilmLA notices of movies and TV show filming, as I like to know what I’m being inconvienced by as I walk White Dog. Today one stood out- not just because it’s being filmed at the Higgins and The Edison, but because of the phrases “Paid Audience 228″ and “Driving Scenes [...]

As I arrived home today my elevator ride was interrupted by a kid in a Pitfire Pizza t-shirt getting on at 6th floor and getting off at 7th- kind of pissed me off, as I generally believe in the rule “walk up one and down two” that usually prevails around elevators. I saw he [...]

Pitfire Pizza has always had a bad case of “the rules change depending upon who is working”. Tonite was the final straw with them- they honestly are not that good that I ever need to visit them again.
Tonite I went down to get the happy hour pizza special- half off from 4pm [...]

The one huge problem at Higgins is lack of (secure) parking- there are a few lucky folks who have parking in the building, but they are very few. Most park behind the building in a “Joe’s Lot” that leaves much to be desired. For awhile there were a rash of break-ins and it was [...]

I was rudely awakened at shortly after 6am today by weird sounds, and rumblings, coming from below. I stumbled out of bed still groggy after waking up at my normal 3:30am (I forgot to turn off the alarm) and finally getting back to sleep- I looked at LAPD HQ and could not see what [...]

…for at least another year, as I finalized the year lease in my same unit. I was planning on having to move, and had looked at many places, as the owner of my unit had expressed that he wanted to move back in. Then in June he contacted me and said he was [...]
