Man, it feels good. I love my perpetually dysfunctional, sometimes broken, always unpredictable, new, and fun hometown. Below are a few photos from an all-day outing.

Boss Status. Metro Red Line

Square One Dining. Hollywood.

Brioche French Toast, with walnuts, home-made vanilla cream, and bourbon sauce.

Contrasts. Silverlake

Overgrown. East Hollywood.

Despite recent gentrification (of which has trouble jumping Los Angeles St.), Downtown somehow maintains a perpetual, 70's grit and funk.

500 Days of Winter

The wonderfully Art-Deco Bollocks Wilshire Department Store, now the Southwestern Law School. Koreatown

The over-the-top, sensory overload-inducing Eastern Columbia Building, another one of LA's Art-Deco gems. DTLA.

Street Art, East Hollywood.

Scientology, Inc. Hollywood.

I Want Peace In Congo. Arts District

Coffee at CoffeeBar. DTLA

More Street Art (artist unknown). DTLA

A Dingbat apartment typical and representative of LA's Mid-Century residential patrimony. Silverlake

Wintry (heh) scene. Silverlake

Eyes on Alameda (by French street artist JR). Little Tokyo

Welcome back - like the L.A. photos - especially the 70s downtown!
I don't know why Blogger thinks my name is unknown... o well.
