Historic Jazz Row in Central L.A.

After our stint in Kansas at Charlie Parker's old haunts, B,S, and I went cruising down L.A.'s Central Avenue in search of Jazz Row. A park dedicated to musicians that frequented the club scene was tagged up. Important buildings looked deserted as well as dilapidated. I am truly humbled by Kansas City...the way they preserved their musical history.

McConfused

I admit it. I spend a lot of time thinking about fast food restaurants. And the crazy part...I haven't had beef/chicken/pork/duck/lengua/cesos in ten years. Not intentionally, at least, unless you count the time in Japan when the owner of the Mexican restaurant in Umejima surprised me with beef tamales.

Here I go again. I swung by the Tacos El Gavilan on Central and Washington and saw that the old sky-fly McDonald's arches by Stanley Meston had been neutered. When did this happen?

I may have to take a drive by the alive-and-kicking McDonald's in Downey, but the McVeggie doesn't exactly sizzle my grizzle. Grimace.
