The Davis Girls

Confession: I've been sitting on this post for MONTHS. I've had it all loaded up and ready to go; all that was needed was to write some sort of fabulous blurb. Easy, right? And yet, I didn't. For Months. 3 to be exact. Almost 4.

How crazy is that? To make matters worse, I'm not really sure what the explanation is, other than that, well, I just sort of fell into a motivational black hole - which is of course suuuuper lame. I promise to try and do better. Just please... pretend you can't tell that all of my fingers and toes are crossed ;)

Aaaaanyhow... without further ado, I present to you: The Davis Girls! Aren't they lovely? I've known these ladies for ages now and they're all pretty awesome, if I may say so. Especially Kellie (but, well, she's a really good friend and I'm totally biased).

It was great to spend an afternoon with everyone at the park (Red Hill, to be exact) and to catch up with the whole family, who I don't get to see very often outside of facebook.

4th & Main

A little secret: I have a favorite street. Actually, it's a bit more like a block. Located in the Old Bank district between Spring and Main, is a little stretch of 4th Street that looks like someone lifted a street out of New York and plopped it down right smack dab in the middle of Downtown L.A.

It's all full of galleries and Art Deco buildings, little bistros, and hundred-year-old offices and hotels that have been converted into apartments. During Christmas, the city hangs swaths of icy blue lights down the whole street. Every once in a while, traffic will be blocked off because they're shooting an episode of CSI New York or something similar there - which is amusing as it involves things like Gary "Lt. Dan" Sinise and "authentic" NYC police cruisers.

A couple of weeks ago, I met two lovely old friends for dinner at one of my favorite spots anywhere: Pete's Cafe & Bar on 6th & Main (Home of the best grilled cheese I've ever eaten). I showed up a few minutes early and took the time to snap a few shots (and, alas, to discover the demise of Lost Souls - the secret coffee shop that is no more).
