Stranger #10. Ed goes by Ed, yet also known locally as Eddy. He owns the Main St. Diner and is the sole cook. He has one waitress and one assistant. For five years he has severed locals and tourists alike here, cooking with a large grill right in front of everyone. His establishment is small, yet his charming personality large. While not cooking he talks with people and cools off away from the grill. When I asked him if there was any person or group that really stood out in his mind that had visited, he said he had served thousands of good people, but its not the good that stands out, it is the ornry people. One of them was a man that threatened to hit him with the cane. I salute Eddy and ask that everyone be remembered as a "good customer" in any establishment.

Ed Kowalczyk is an American musician, and the former lead singer of the band Live. Since leaving Live in 2009, he has launched a solo career. His first album, Alive, was released worldwide in June and July 2010.
In 1956, at the age of 18, Ed Ruscha left his home in Oklahoma and drove a 1950 Ford sedan to Los Angeles, where he had been accepted to Chouinard Art Institute. His trip roughly followed the fabled Route 66 through the Southwest, which featured many of the sights—auto repair shops, billboards, and long stretches of roadway punctuated by telephone poles—that would provide him with artistic subjects for decades to come.
Nine sections in the exhibition reveal Ruscha’s fascination with the evolving landscape and iconic character of the “Great American West” in symbolic, evocative, and ironic renditions. These include works that depict gasoline stations, long an important element of Ruscha’s work, as well as others that comment on Los Angeles and the film industry, such as his famous “Technicolor” images of the Hollywood sign. The exhibition also includes works in which a word or phrase is the sole subject, often depicted in a variety of forms that simulate poured liquids, cut ribbons or spray paint.
Ruscha continues to work steadily at the age of 77, and this exhibition includes prints made as recently as 2015. He maintains a studio in the California desert and makes regular road trips through the spare and evocative landscapes that first inspired him as a young man. Ruscha has now worked in California for more than 50 years, and this exhibition celebrates his long commitment to exploring the American west as both romantic concept and modern reality.
