So i’m finally out of the Descanso Manor, a 1920’s brick brownstone that shoulda been condemned years ago. It has been affectionately referred to as a shithole by many including myself..many good times here, wrote alot of songs, did a ton of journaling and musically recorded some of the lowest fi acoustic tracks imaginable, drank a million beers on the roof looking at the high rises of downtown LA, and basically fell in love with the Eastside.
Rode all over the streets of Hollywood, the Eastside, the Westside and Downtown. Daytime rides, nighttime rides, solo rides at midnight on a Wednesday night, LA is a great fucking bike city for a bunch of car loving people and a beautiful place at 2 in the morning with no cars on the streets.
Was in the basement for 4 years, bars on the windows looking up to the sidewalk and on the 2nd floor for 1 year looking down on the murals and spray and wash car wash. No kitchen sink for 5 years and no gas in the stove for 1 year. Jeez i’m gonna miss this shithole! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well here you go -
