welcome to the neighborhood...

Today the Goom and I went for a stroll to share our neighborhood with you...







Our building...















Our street, seen from sunset...











a very spooky house on our street...
(anywhere else this house would keep me from moving into the neighborhood but not in LA)












Goom (in hoody) on Sunset...













local businesses...





































this is why i love Hollywood, this man is walking his bird...
see him in the back-pack...I mean cage?








i've had a love-hate relationship with this city but roses in october, need I say more?

I loved this post. Felt like I was down there. I love the spooky house and the man walking the bird? Would never have believed it.

O-Zone - no worries, there will be more! LOL!

Belette, I know how much you hate this place and I completely understand so I am so thankful for the huge compliment!

Clare, I know...a bird? Goom said there's a bird and I was focused on trying to capture images so I didn't pay attention. Then he said it again and then I saw it...well, it was perfect and unbelievable...

MUCH LOVE

Oh, I loved that tour. And what I liked the most? Not one celebrity in sight. Which makes a big change. You showed us part of the soul of your neighbourhood and that's more than enough. And the closing shot was amazing, roses in October. Many thanks.

Greetings from London.

Hi Stacey,
Thank you for your weird and wonderful post, about the area you live in. I was wondering, what is the history of the creepy house and why no one lives there anymore?
It would look beautiful, redecorated and looked after. Maybe it has a few ghosts!
The man walking his bird...Now I have seen it all!!
I get strange enough looks walking my cat on a lead. Bird walking is going too far!
Hollywood is certainly an unusual place to live but at least it is inspiring for your writing!;)
Love, Jo.x
P.S. Thank you for your lovely comment.:)

Love your photos. My relationship with Los Angeles is filled with so many emotions (love and hate.)

What I miss most is walking in the canyons and the flowers all year round.

I lived on Harper Avenue between Sunset and Fountain for twelve years.

Thanks for the memories.

It felt like snippets from a movie, a little bit of everything. The kids must love that spooky old house and all the mystery it holds ;)

That was cool! I've never heard of walking a bird before. The world needs more eccentric pastimes.
