West Adams!

The traditionally Black neighborhood that I love for its Victorian masterpieces, greasy, no-nonsense BBQ joints churning out Memphis' Finest,and jubilant Gospel houses! Man, I swear..this place is a real gem. With its lovely tree-lined streets studded with a bevy of homes of Victorian, Craftsman and Spanish-styles, the place has emerged as a hotspot for both
Black gentrification (mainly by Black LGBT), as well community activism and lobbying. Oh, and the people ! So nice ! I mean, they actually say small things like: "Hey baby, how you doin' today?". Might not mean alot to some, but I consider them vestiges of a once dignified, polite and courteous era that once graced Los Angeles.

Grabbed Thai food with my grandfather today in Gardena.

Thai food, in its intriguing, exotic demeanor (not the overpriced yuppie fusion bs), is one of my favorite cuisines. Firstly, I love how the Thai food spectrum runs what seems to be the whole culinary gamut. Secondly, like Chinese food, Thai cuisine has dishes geared to American and Thai tastes (the latter for me, of course). Lastly, the impressive breadth. My goodness. From the Chinese-derived to Coconut-bases to Curries. There has got to be a Thai dish for every palette out there.

Oh, and the mango sticky rice and thai iced tea? Without flaw.
