  • A little sightseeing...

    Took a little ride around LA Saturday. A few of the sights:


    Any tour of SoCal must start out at a famous intersection :



    It sure didn't look like this back in '92.




    Had to hit up the nudity in the park... Exposition Park, that is. The entrance to the Coliseum.
    Sculpture courtesy of the '84 Olympics.







    Then it was up the street to Staples Center.




    It's 4:20 at the L.A. Convention Center!






    They dedicated Chick Hearns' statue at the North Entrance courtyard last week. There is an empty chair next to the Chick at the table and people can sit at the announcer's table next to Chick and take a picture.





    One of our more famous transplants is honored in the courtyard.







    Oscar is there but I think it's just because he's L.A.'s favorite son.





    And the only reason there is a courtyard full of statues in the first place:





    This was a cool shot in front of the Disney Concert Hall, downtown.





    ... well, it was cool until one of L.A. County's finest showed up and "insisted" that I move my bike.
    He even called for backup. I felt so honored.

              Thank you for sharing, Tom. I'd like to see more. Wink, my town, is the hometown of Roy Orbison. We were trying to get a statue of him made by having annual Roy Orbison festivals every year...but somehow, the "top name" musical guests are always country western guys...my band at the time played some Hendrix tunes and were nearly booed off the stage, "Don't they know this is Wink? We just listen to country western music here..."

              There was never enough money made to build a statue, but we have a museum with a few 45 rpm records and a pair of Roy Orbison glasses on display...and it has a black and white painting of Roy on the side of the building.

                Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
                mistake when you make it again.

                            Didn't mean to butt into your thread, Tom...just couldn't help but compare and contrast the two towns we live in...

                              why is the Male sculpture in the foreground instead of the background?... I'm just saying!!
