Thursday, December 10, 2009 – North of Pink's

Raise your hand if you want a tour of Hollywood street life –

"Hand Up" - graffiti wall behind Hebrew school on La Brea at Waring

This is the area just north of one of the world's most famous hot dog stands, Pink's – where Orson Welles used to come by at least once a week, and once ate eighteen hot dogs on a single visit (he's dead), and where Bruce Willis proposed to Demi Moore (the marriage didn't last). This is North La Brea between Melrose and Willoughby, a slice of life out here.
