Wednesday, August 20, 2008 – Sometimes Scary

Some days, for the average guy, Hollywood is a bit intimidating. Sunset Boulevard at Cahuenga –

The view from the hot new club, Social, on Sunset Boulevard –

The rollup door at the Hookah Lounge on Hollywood Boulevard –

Even the whimsical "You Are a Star" mural by Tom Suriya on Wilcox has turned scary –

Looming above it, the tower at the old Warner Pacific Theater –

Calm down. A coffee shop on Sunset –
