White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Look at what she did to the “soft” toys I bought her- both had polyester fill splling all over within 10 minutes.  And in 30 min., she had the “squeaky” out of the cat (who’s shirt says “Chew Me”- that’s like bringing dynamite to a campfire with my girl.
More pics tomorrow of the other toys […]

Previously I had complained how the Liquor Store in Weiland Court had carded me (after months of shopping there, some clerk decided to make an example of me).
Yesterday I was getting my hair cut by Don Ho of Don’s Hair Salon in New Otani Hotel.  He’s a 60-ish Japanese gentleman and he tells me they […]

Well, the “fake” ones for sure.  2 weeks ago they filmed “24″ directly under my window on an alley and did 3 takes with machine gun fire.  I think it’s cool but lately Isis doesn’t - she goes on a barking frenzy (my old dogs would just want to hide… Isis is so protective and […]

Homeless issues are always hot topics downtown, at least in the media and for me as I walk my dog.  A story in today’s Los Angeles Downtown News did a good job of explaining the issues, which are many and complex.
It’s hard to make a distinction between the homeless and the beggars/panhandlers.  I have compassion […]

I know I complain a lot about the immigration protests and marches downtown.  But now I will complain about a march whose cause I support but was really A NON-EVENT- a “Stop The War” march that went down Broadway, from Olympic to Temple, and then to the Federal Building at Temple and Los Angeles St.
After […]

It rained some last night with a little lightning- I was hoping for a big thunderstorm but the rain was so light that I did not even wear a jacket this morning when walking Isis.  But as sunset approached this evening, an amazing rainbow formed that did a complete arch (which my photos don’t show […]

I was just checking the dog blogs around downtown and saw a pic of Isis when she was at Lofty Dogs with Dodger dog. 
Here’s the pic- notice White Dog on left (although Dodger is not in this pic, I assume they were at Lofty Dogs at same time…)  It’s amazing, but Isis can behave like […]

Although I was a little upset at not being able to walk White Dog where she likes (City Hall, City Hall South, and CalTrans), the event went off without any problems that I know of.  The noise from bands and the crowd control was perfect.  And while walking Isis around the periphery of the event, […]

Since Thursday evening, lanes on Main St. and 1st St have been closed down- I presumed for another movie shoot.  Then yesterday (Friday) I find it’s for the Mexican Independance Day celebration (see video in previous post).  Hey, I always up for a party, so I come home and search for info on the schedule of […]

I just took a walk around City Hall with Isis and found out how to better use the camera and some of it’s limitations.  The camera is bad in high contrast situations- when I am walking in shade but it is sunny in background (understandable), and I need to point my head more at what I’m […]
