At lunch yesterday I took a walk on Melrose Place to look at all of the empty shops. Any young enterprising shop keep would certainly love to be here. It’s a walkable little street which is somewhat unheard of in Los Angeles. Even with it’s half a dozen empty store fronts, it’s still rather pleasant for a meander.

A couple of Better Houses (No Gardens) from a Saturday afternoon walk with my friend Charles through Hancock Park. Charles boldly walks up to the porch and gets a good view of the stain glass, I do not. I love the art deco for the motifs drawn from the glorification of man and the machine (note the stain glass and spot light design apropos of Hollywood) rather than a precedent drawn from nature. I do prefer the first house as it lends itself to a more fanciful narrative.
