The word is someone has a deathwish and shot at a patroling L. A. County Sheriff's car off of Crenshaw on some side street. Don't know the rest of the story. LAPD & L.A. Unified School Dist. Police gave back up.

The Rochester Mansion by ATOMIC Hot Links

Edmund Lincoln "Eddie" Anderson (1905 – 1977), aka Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, was a Black American comedian and actor.

Anderson got his start in show business In the early 1930s. In '37, he began his most famous role as Rochester van Jones, usually just "Rochester", as the valet of Jack Benny, on his radio show & later TV show The Jack Benny Program also appeared in in movies and other TV shows.

His home in the West Adams district of Los Angeles was one of the few places in L.A. where he could have a home built because even L. A. black entertainers were not welcome in white neighborhoods due to restrictive covenants. He called on Black American architect, Paul R. Williams to designed his new massive home that sat in an area surrounded by smaller, bungalow-style homes. He also had a pool so the neighbors and their kids could play and swim in the pool. The home is currently a Bed & Breakfast.

Near my house right after Nipsey Hussle and two other men gunned down outside his store. I put my camera up after the cops noticed me taking pictures. I have had my fair share of run ins with cops and security. Wasn't looking for problems so I put my gear away. Here in Calif. and other parts of the country because a DSLR camera looks more intimidating then a cell phone I get questioned by the law sometimes as to why I'm taking pictures. These first few photos were taken with a point and shoot that kind of resembles a DSLR.

Los Angeles Hall of Justice, Los Angeles, California by Ken Lund

In Los Angeles the Hall of Justice was the centerpiece of the Los Angeles County justice system until it was damaged in the Northridge earthquake. The historic 1926 building was featured on television shows including Dragnet, Perry Mason and Get Smart. More significantly, it was the home of Los Angeles County courts, the Los Angeles County Coroner, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and was for many years the primary Los Angeles County jail.

Notable residents of the Hall of Justice included Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan and Shorty Rossi, star of the Animal Planet show Pit Boss. Autopsies performed at the Hall of Justice include those of actress Marilyn Monroe and the assassinated presidential candidate and former United States Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

While the Hall of Justice was closed shortly after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, it is currently being restored and is scheduled to re-open as the Sheriff's and District Attorney's Headquarters in 2014. It was used as a filming location for the 1997 Clint Eastwood movie Absolute Power, as the Washington DC police headquarters.

Wishing on a Star by ATOMIC Hot Links

Wishing on a Star is a Eco-kinetic solar sculpture created by Charles Dickson out of his Compton art studio. He was my art teacher back in the day when I was a teen attending his classes in Watts and Compton. This beautiful work is made with many discarded items from engine and automotive suspension parts to rebar and computer and kitchen utensils and other scrap metal and glass.

Demolition of Hollywood Park (Inglewood Calif.) by ATOMIC Hot Links

Demolition after Implosion to weaken the structure for final tear down. If you gotta see your ponies race you still have Del Mar and Santa Anita race tracks to go see them run. Now that this demolition is taking place people are hopeful that we'll get a NFL team coming back to the L. A. area. Hmmm foot ball, golf, tennis, baseball.... sorry I rather watch grass grow, what we need is a drag strip, a motocross park, monster truck stadium a low rider park and show car arena all rolled into one.

Chris Burden's Metropolis II at LACMA by ATOMIC Hot Links

Burden had Metropolis II's cars specially manufactured in China to his custom specifications — unlike Metropolis I, which just used off-the-shelf Hot Wheels toys. "The original toy cars have very thin axles that wear out too fast," says Burden. Given that Metropolis II is supposed to run three days a week for the next 10 years, how will it avoid the "wearing out" problem? Burden's no-nonsense answer: "We made a lot of cars."

jail bracelets by Who, Me?

Collected in the general vicinity of the Mission Police Station. I know that if I were a petty criminal, I'd be anxious to get the stink of jail off me too, but perhaps leaving your ID bracelet on the street isn't wise. You could become a victim of identity theft!

Note that one is a transfer from San Mateo, and two belonged to the same guy (that's not like a duplicate in baseball card collecting -- they take a new picture each time).

Bethesda Temple Apostolic Church Fire by ATOMIC Hot Links

A fire broke out early Friday morning (4/26/13) about 2 am at the Bethesda Temple Apostolic Church in the Windsor Hills / Leimert Park area on the 4900 block of Crenshaw Blvd. Residence near by said they heard an explosion. It took 80 firefighters a little under an hour to put the fire out. The main building was completely gutted by the fire. The south wing of the church facility and Bethesda Senior apartments/home next door suffered little or no damage. LAFD Arson Investigators, FBI and the ATF are still looking into the cause, but fire officials say the fire does not appear to be criminal in nature, and there are no signs of foul play at this time. 7 months earlier I was just two blocks east and got pictures of another church fire in the HYDE PARK area at 11th Ave. & 48th st. Galilee Baptist Church was completely gutted by a fire. I still can't get a clear answer as to what caused that fire. If anyone knows for certain please leave a comment
