Santa Monica Frwy near Washington, Fairfax & La Cienega Boulevard collapsed, and it was so important to get it operational they began repairs the day after the earthquake even during after shocks.
Well the show is over and everybody took off. Some went to cruise nite meet and greets others went on home or to grab late nite grub.
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.
Slauson avenue and Western. I don't know what happen but as soon as I started flickin off pictures the Boyz n Blue showed up and made everybody go home. When I meet up with the classic truck, muscle car & street rod crowd we don't get hassled by the Man.
On my way home spotted an out of control fire off in the distance.... couldn't resist had to go check it out.
I took these photos of this building across the street from my residence near the Wilshire/ Midtown area here in L.A. about 1978 or '79, a day after this apartment building suffered a deliberate natural gas explosion. An angry tenant who had received an eviction notice had opened a gas valve and tightly sealed up all the windows and doors of the apartment unit they stayed in. A few hours after they left, "BOOM !!" I believe the few people that were in their apartments received minor injuries. The blast caused a fire in the apartment building next door to it.

Korean Friendship Bell in San Pedro
Angeles Gate Park
This beautiful 18 ton monster of a bell with elaborate engravings cut into it and the pavilion it sits in was donated by South Korea to the U.S.A. to commemorate our country's Bicentennial in 1976. The bell is modeled after the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok the Great of Silla (also known as the Emille Bell).

Crenshaw Center shops and anchor stores like Broadway Dept store, May Co., Woolworth and many retail stores opened in November 1947. Then in 1988 got a major remodel including a pedestrian walk way that connected the Broadway with the May Co. Dept. stores that crossed over Martin Luther King Blyd. (formerly Santa Barbara Blvd.)
Currently closed/ simi open new stores retail businesses on hold due to Covid-19.
Any comments on past history, progress and updates welcome.

While at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library I got to meet 89 year old Nathen Blackwell of Ventura, Calif. an old-world craftsman, "V-cut" letters, is his specialty. He is very good at what he does. I stood there and watched him do it for a while. He does not make it look easy. He is very precise, painstaking so, especially slow and careful, deliberate. This dude is amazing and he MADE HIS OWN TOOLS MAN ! ! ! In an Article for the L. A. Times by By Gail Davis, he said Michelangelo, was a wonderful sculptor, but lousy at lettering. HAHAHA, hey I'm sure he knows what he is talking about. In 1991 Marcel Mächler carved the bulk of the donor names into the walls of the lobby at the Reagan Presidential Library.
News crew on the scene of the 9 car wreck injuring 10 people at Crenshaw and Vernon in Leimert Park area of Los Angeles. Case of someone just driving too fast, I wonder if texting was involved.
If you get to heaven you will be surprised to see many people there you did not expect to see. Many may be just as surprised to see you there.
