two architecture updates in one day. see, i'm not lazy. well, i'm sort of lazy.
the reason i'm including this is that i love these collapsing dilapidated 'gods little acre' shacks, and also that i love living in a city that is so odd as to include palaces and collapsing shacks, and also that i saw these shacks on my way home from visiting the palace. and i think that's it.
l.a is just so weird. see, that's part of a valid academic lexicon for an on-line discussion of the merits of urban architecture. weird. but it is. modern houses, mid century masterpieces, oddball palaces wherein jimi hendrix might have written 'purple haze', beige 1980's horror houses, and tiny crumbly shacks like this.
sure, all cities are by definition kind of eclectic. but i just described the houses on one small street in my neighborhood.
ok, thanks.

p.s after taking these pictures i sat on the front steps with atticus finch and boo radley and had some coke colas while shooing flies.
