My New Hood

    For the past few years I have lived in West Hollywood. This is dead smack in the center of LA proper. Is really cute and safe and known for being the Gay district. I love it there. My show is based out of there. I walked all over to Melrose and biked with Aidan quite a bit, but there were two rather large problems.
    The first is that the apartments are TINY for what you are paying. Obscenely really. I would spend all weekend out just so I wouldn't have to be in my small closet of a one bedroom. And I have three pets. You can only imagine the clean up.
    The second, and I wont go into this to extensively was the evil queen who lived below me. And I do mean evil. He would text me when I was at work and tell me my television was too loud, or that Aidan was barking when I knew for sure he was with the dog walker. Finally, I realized it was time to go.

  

Now I live in Thai Town, which is basically East Hollywood. It not quite as safe, but the apartment is almost twice as big for less money a month. Its has old Hollywood character with archways and built in cubbies.  Aidan loves that he has room to play fetch and the kitties solarize in front of the large glorious windows all day. My sister came to visit and told me the best part about this apartment was that you didn't have to sit sideways on the toilet. I hadn't realized how much smaller my other apartment really was.

Another fabulous part of my new building is the roof. This is my awesome friend and neighbor from upstairs Andrea. The roof is amazing and I promise to post more photos of the amazing views of downtown and the observatory. Andrea and I come up here and share a bottle of wine and just bask in the craziness that is Los Angeles. We are just a block from Hollywood Blvd, but from up here it is quiet and feels quite removed from the city.

I have made it a habit ever since I first became single to buy myself flowers every week. There is the cutest little flower shop just a few blocks away called the secret garden. Its on a really industrial block but its a tiny oasis. I like to get hot pink dahlias. They are so crazy vibrant and make me smile every time i look at them.




    There is so much to do and see in this new part of town...I want to tell you all about it. First I will take better pics so you can check it out too!
