oh dude, don't even get me started on what a score corner that was!!! i think yucca in general was nothin but 11 year old crack dealers...

what killed me was that stupid pretty woman movie was filmed right in that neighborhood! the apt she lived in was on yucca and whitley... i recognized it b/c my old roommate august (guitarist for johnny crash...only a few are gonna know who the hell they were) used to score crack from there. so many times i'd go with him as backup...lol. i remember this one kid sold him soap chips... i was laughin so hard at him.

my god, you guys remember the hollywood studio club apts on wilcox? seems like every band lived there.

sunset and las palmas, a stones throw from
those fine establishments- the seventh veil

Yeah, selling fake drugs is a good way to
get hurt on those streets. Do that sh1t and someone might come back, mug your ass
for your money and the real sh1t you had for yourself, and beat the holy crap out of you and go score a lot bigger pile than they could afford before. That's instant karma, Mr. Lennon!

When were you guys living out there? I try to drive through the area every year when I go out for NAMM. It's a lot differant now than it used to be with the Kodak Center, but I get a kick out of going back to Yucca Manor. When I lived there an old couple ran the place. The wife called the apartments her "oasis", yet the husband had this huge shotgun in their living room.

I will admit that there's something special about walking out of your apartment in the morning and having to step over a homeless drunk guy with puke all over himself. Now that's the Hollywood I miss!

I was in Costa Mesa from late '83 through
August '88, then in Santa Monica from September '88 through November '02. I
ventured into Hollywood a lot though didn't live there, but Santa Monica has all the same amenities - lots of homeless
committing most of the crimes, prime crack supermarkets at 20th and Pico and in Venice at 6th and Brooks. Hey, if were a homeless wino I'd want to live by
the beach too! Almost never too hot or too cold. There are even "fake" homeless in Santa Monica! You see 'em drive their cars into the parking structure and change into their stinky street clothes, pop the wheelchair out of the trunk and go panhandle $100 a day! What a friggin racket THAT is! The locals know 'em, but the tourists don't, and that's where most of the spare change comes from.

Yah but it's also really cool when you go and no crowds,I like going when I can just kick back and hang out.It's so sad that the numbers have dwindled over the years of the people that go,but everytime I've been it's been alone,or with a couple of people,and it's peaceful....but the number of flowers,picks etc that people used to leave have really fallen lately.
So if anyone from here is ever in the neighborhood (L.A. that is,duh [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) and wants to go ,let me know and maybe we can round up a couple of others in the area and have our own little private vigil-thang for Randy.He doesn't mind,really...
