Text of the page (random words):
as you head away from the park unlike bullocks now owned and spectacularly maintained by southwestern law school most of these buildings are run down and the people who live here are poor where there are poor people unusual methods of commerce pop up while in the area we saw two women selling the flowering part of the yucca plant along the side of the road later doing a websearch we came across one person advising someone looking for drugs to go to macarthur park and ask around another was a site where someone made a post warning women not to walk in la alone at night as it is one of the most dangerous cities in the world there was also mutterings of gang activity but nothing as concrete every teenager knows that you can get fake i d s on 6th and alvarado where they are proffered by men holding their hand as if they are holding a carcard out to you if you pull over you agree on a price then go to a nearby photo shop where they take your picture and half the money afterward you agree to meet in the jack in the box where they bring you the finished product complete with holograms we were curious if this was still a practice in our security obsessed and somewhat xenophobic times but driving by the infamous corner we noticed only one man making the symbol still he was there macarthur park isn t a place that occurs to the jet set the soccer moms or the indie kids but it s a place we should all think of especially with the object lesson of new orleans before us it s value to us isn t only in its history and architecture posted by kuaptic 5 33 pm 0 comments thursday night a thursday night in september nothing to do except see kuaptic friends bernhauser play the knitting factory with anchors for architects seven times on the sea sticky children and el ten eleven the show starts at 8 pm tickets are 5 posted by kuaptic 11 01 am 0 comments wednesday september 14 2005 when ostriches ruled los angeles yes ostriches it only gets more unbelievable griffith park formerly called rancho los feliz was purchased by colonel griffith j griffith his parents must have hated him in 1882 he had made his money in coal mining and he started an ostrich ranch on the property where thirty of the birds lived though ostrich feathers were popular in fashions at the time griffith s primary interest in the farm was to draw people to his nearby holdings people would come by and watch the animals be plucked apparently griffith we can call him by both his first name and his last was something of an eccentric he would give long speeches at his exclusive men s club they were very dull but people would put up with it because he had donated so much money while on vacation with his wife he became consumed by the notion that she was colluding with the pope to poison him and shot her through pure chance he missed and she survived though disfigured and blind in one eye at some point he believed he saw the ghost of antonio feliz previous owner of the property which spurred him to give some 3015 acres tothe city of los angeles los angeles decided to use the property to build an observatory planetarium and an amphitheater after the shooting of his wife he was jailed and on his release he decided to donate one hundred acres to the study of flight and the aerodrome was built it had a runway basically it was an airport but in the early times of flying it was the recreation of those who could afford it and eventually passed to the national guard until the 1930s when it was determined that the military presence violated the terms of griffith s deed and then it was destroyed now the la zoo and the museum of the american west formerly the gene autry museum occupy the space when griffith died in 1919 most of the property passed to the city of los angeles and his money also left in trust to the city was used to fund their projects griffith park now includes two golf courses travel town where they have old trains the greek amphitheater the observatory the hollywood sign the la zoo and the museum of the american west as well as lots of open park space for games horseback riding and hiking now when you enjoy the many and varied pleasures of the park you can think not only does it have nothing to do with d w griffith but it all started with a crazy guy and ostriches don t forget the ostriches posted by kuaptic 12 14 pm 1 comments mugged this couch and its accompanying loveseat are understandbly scared they were mugged some guy came up and rifled through the cucushions in an obvious search for lose change it was an obvious adding of insult to injury as couches do not value money and so would gladly have turned over any change they possessed if they had hands posted by kuaptic 8 32 am 0 comments tuesday september 13 2005 have you had it animal style once online at in n out one kuapticite asked her date have you had it animal style he looked mortified until she red facedly explained that animal style referred to a manner in which burgers were served by many it s said to be the best way to have an in n out burger the animal style burger is served with grilled onions special sauce pickles mustard fried right onto the meat and of course the requisite lettuce and tomato it s delicious and boy is it messy they also serve fries animal style though they don t come with mustard on their website in n out lists their secret menu as having six items double meat two patties no cheese and all the goodies protein style where your burger is served to you on lettuce instead of bread grilled cheese no meat and the popular 3x3 three patties three slices of cheese and 4x4 in n out will in fact make a burger to any number x number specifications as well as animal style but there are in fact numerous other menu permutations you can get your fries light under fried or light well or well done which makes them crispier you can also order them with cheese and with no salt you can get a chocolate vanilla swirl milkshake or a neopolitan milkshake where all three flavors are combined you can get a rootbeer float a combination of root beer and vanilla milkshake or you can ask for the shake with extra syrup for a little extra you can even order milkshakes in larger sizes the flying dutchman is two patties two slices of cheese and nothing else there s the veggie or wish burger which has no meat or cheese you can even get peppers on your burger or order a side of sauce for your fries just try that at mcdonalds posted by kuaptic 10 31 am 0 comments top secret los angelenos love their in n out just ask those of us who have moved outside the california arizona nevada in n out zone they cry when they talk about it not just a little teary eyed either we re talking about open weeping here in a time rife with corporate take overs and dominated by the interests of big business in n out remains in the hands of the family who originally started it and they have no desire to franchise it or take it public in n out was opened in 1948 in baldwin park by esther and harry snyder they felt that if the offered people sinple fresh food no freezers or microwaves are involved that was made to order that people would respond

frankly no pun intended not santa monica place so in our last installment on frank gehry we decided we d discuss the anti santa monica place the disney concert hall downtown la is an easy place to get lost in it s a forest of tall glassy bauhaus structures like a series of cemetary stones sprung up in the flat plane between century city and the horizon on closer inspection it s one of the city s richest repositories of art deco architecture and home of many of the oldest and most beautiful theaters no matter how run down and threadbare they are but these attract only the discerning eye they re easily overlooked on the outskirts of the tall buildings not quite visible from the 110 freeway you can stumble across the disney concert hall it s splayed gorgeously over an entire city block a concrete representation of the art within the kind of dazzling structure that can change the way you see everything the disney concert hall is the result of about fifteen years of work lillian disney widow of walt disney donated the initial contribution of 50 million dollars in 1987 gehry turned in the finished design in 1991 contruction on the underground garage began 1992 and was approximated to cost between 90 million and 110 million dollars the project stalled after that due to lack of funds but groundbreaking did take place in 1999 and the hall opened to the public in 2003 the concert hall is unquestionably one of the most striking and beautiful buildings in los angeles it is home to the los angeles philharmonic orchestra and los angeles master coral as well as redcat the los angeles opera and in what is arguably the most important restaurant space in los angeles and priced to match patina on the outside the building is rippling and lyrical so bright that portions of its surface had to be sandblasted last year to mitigate the intense heat and light emmitted by its metal skin inside the material is reddish wood amphitheaters swirl up in surprising ways behind is hidden a a

deconstructivist decon or santa monica school of architecture style has been a reaction to that credo once architecture was to reflect social ideas such as speed gehry adopts a counter philosophy namely a return to the notion that architecture is art earlier in his career gehry was interested inusing unfinished materials corregated metal juxtaposed with brick and cement he exploded the idea of permanance though his use of chain link fencing a material he loathed for containing his buildings to create a shadow structure within the space of the building itself claiming if you can t beat it join it he explored primal geometric forms unexpected points and angles instead of adhering to the necessary he collaborated with klaus oldenburg and his wife on the chiat day building in venice ca
