Infrequent Blogging: Part Deux

Merry Christmas! Come on back in and have some fun!

• Norwood Young keeps proving to be the gift that keeps on giving. I was recently contacted by documentarian and nobel peace prize contender Piotr Uzarowicz (gesundheit) about an inspirational film he's been working on that ponders questions like "Why are we here?" "What is love (baby don't hurt me)?" and "How did the David house get that way?" I gleefully present to you: Miracle on 3rd Street. (btw, whoever first steals a David when this place sells, you price gouge, I'll buy)

• Some nasty little buttlicker keeps throwing ruby slippers over power lines in LA. It's either one of the most on-the-nose commentaries on class relations or it's guerilla advertising for Wicked. You can see an example on the corner of Rossmore and 3rd. I always see it in my car, so I haven't taken a picture, but if anyone has one, please send it in and I'll post it here. And if anyone knows what the real story behind them is, let me know!

• I went for an evening stroll through HP about a week ago up and down Hudson and Rimpau. These houses have totally different auras in night and day and it's amazing to watch that transformation happen as the sun sets. I'm putting together a kind of tour for a future post so expect that soon.

• Keep following me on Curbed! I know we had a slow weekend thanks to Labor Day, but I'm back to my regular weekend warrior duties this weekend. There's a poll up there now to see which open house I should go to this weekend--check it out!
