Commute, again

While I waited for the light to change, I wondered: How did that little old building get stuck between those two monsters of bland? Was the teeny building always teeny, or did it get cut, or smooshed? Who builds a building that small, and why? What was it back then, when it was new?

This is my second "little kid running by" series. Total accident. Or possibly because I keep getting stuck in traffic.



New book review is up at Hometown Pasadena: Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs.

Commute, 11

You can't take the freeway all the way from Pasadena to Hollywood. You've got to take surface streets a good part of the time.

Sometimes I take Santa Monica Blvd. instead of Beverly Blvd. Santa Monica is not all like this. It has interesting stretches, though Beverly is more lively more of the time.

I'm told Santa Monica is faster than Beverly, but I prefer Beverly. Go figure.
