YIMBY is democracy?

Best part: “I introduced myself as an “independent journalist” and yet six people still talked to me — four on Sycamore and two on Orange.”

Fun to read about my old neighborhood—lived on Wilcox Pl, a one-block street between Lexington and Santa Monica 4 blocks east of Highland. Felt very cool living on the stretch where Tangerine had just been shot at the donut shop on one end, and On Cinema featured the Yoshinoya Beef Bowl on the other end.

Not surprised by the attitudes of the people living in single-family homes around there

Great spot. Right by Broadway West on Santa Monica. Maybe you were lucky enough to be there at the same time as Oh My Ribs! Entertainment, one of the great LA business names.

Haha wow, yep, they were my neighbors. Forgot about them and their colorful Mr Yuk-looking logo.
