Art - The Streets

Painted Feathers

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

One of my favorite things about biking back from downtown is all the goddamn painted light posts on Howard.  They are, like, pretty and stuff.  Anyways, some soulless vandal hellbent on bringing down property values took it upon themselves to paint this post on 23rd and Capp.  If gramps didn't already send this person to jail for their violent assault against this light post's right to be, I hope they paint more of like this.  It's, like, pretty and stuff.

Fairfax

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

I figured nothing could be better than waking up at 7am Saturday morning after merely getting 4 hours of sleep and driving up to Fairfax for 3.5 hours of mountain biking.  Unfortunately, I was wrong.  Because of this, I took ever opportunity to take photos of graffiti high up on Fairfax's hills.  Shitty pics by me, good pics by Paul R.

BONUS PIC: I puked about 20 seconds after this pic was taken.

Dodgers Fans Call it NOPA

Guys, I don't spend too much time up in the Western Addition/NOPA/the Land of the Lost because it requires me to bike up a 4-block gradual incline to get there.  The horror!  I wasn't aware that there was a class war / NorCal-SoCal debate surrounding the proper name of the neighborhood.  Someone care to properly fill me in?
