Hollyhood

So there have been some wierd things happen in my hood. I live in Hollywood CA not the capitol of the entertainment business like most think. That would be Burbank or Culver City not Hollywood. However, we do have some crazy motherfuckers in my hood which I think distiguishes it from other hoods in LA. Take this example from this morning.
At 5am this morning, a "drunken naked guy" used a sock full of rocks to shatter the glass on the front door, and stormed inside to eat "all the pastries". Police responded and found the guy running around the store, resisting arrest. He had feathers in his hair and an American flag... although it wasn't explained to me if this was a large or small flag, or where it was placed (or, perhaps, raised). The cops had to use rubber bullets and a beanbag shotgun to subdue him.
That's normal around here. Well the American flag thing isn't. A similar thing happened many years ago that was also featured on the show COPS where this crazier than a shithouse rat guy got naked and attacked the roof of a Burger King. No flag that time. Those of you who live off Fountain will know the guy with tits that walks Fountain every night. He seems harmless just a bit old and with tits. Par for the course here. The female hookers have moved on and have been replace by the tranny hookers. For those of you in Mid-America "tranny hooker" dosn't mean a connecting bolt on the drivetrain of your Ford. Its a dude/chick working the streets for nickles and dimes. My friends and I used to get hammered and run down the shity part of Sunset high-five-ing hookers on our way to the various after hour entertainment. The hookers didn't get the social commentary of the spectical. What can you do they're hookers?

We have crime as well. Although most of the bodies are dumped in Castaic Lake norht of LA, the Russian mafia kills folks in my hood on a fairly regular basis. They run a couple brothels there as well but no one bothers them. We even had a car jacking in our driveway. Seems a guy was running from the cops off Sunset Blvd. and ran down to our street. He saw us in my roommates car and jumped in the running, with driver side door open Chevy Avalanche. I beat him down pretty well until he decided to get out of the car and steal another one. The cops caught him down my the Yukon Mining Company(speaking of Trannies) and Trader Joes parking lot. I beat him pretty bad but the cops really kicked the shit out him. Then there's this young hispanic kid that steals anything that isn't bolted down. Not sure how he stays out of jail. That's probably a better story.

Its a crazy hood but I love it. Its got excitement, character, good bars/eaterys, you can find good music, and there's more filth than you can shake a stick at.
