Nickel Diner opening this week

One thing is for sure . The excitement is great on the stretch of Main Street that the Nickel will be on. One reason is that many people know Monica and can't wait for her to open up that diner. They are all claiming that it will be clifton quality food. Not being able to afford the prices on 4th and Main and other establishments around the area also has the Leonide and the Sanborn residents excited because now they can enjoy quality food in their own neighborhood they can afford. Speculation is that the Nickel will be inexpensive. But the people are looking forward to not being malnourished because the only food around they could afford for many of them has been processed food. Now they can eat healthy.

I hope Monica takes into consideration the many sick people in those buildings who need items that cater to their illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes. This is what is needed. The good stuff too. All I Hear from the people even this far into skid row is that they will be able to go and eat breakfast. Pancakes was the first words out of their mouths.

The biggest response was when I told the people that Monica would be working at the Diner not just owning it and a few people's eyes got wide because they are glad she will be there.

Many people in the skid row area love Monica. She has street cred and is very nice to all of her clients.

Remember , I will be watching though. We have to see how they treat those with leases in the Non-profit SRO's when they utilize the spot. But knowing that one of the servers from Banquette will not be coming there to work, that was another thing that went well with my interviews with people that live in those hotels. They want Monica to be there and others.

They just can't wait is what I was told...

"clifton's quality" food?? omg dude! Monica's stuff is like 1000 times better than that.

I realize lots of people swear by Clifton's but I find it beyond too salty and oily.. and practically unedible. IMHO only though.. I still go there mainly cause I get sucked into going with people who still swear by the place. ugh.

Anyway.. looking forward to Monica's place opening soon also! =)

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Gordon Turner visits skid row on election day

Gordon Turner does make it to skid row on this election day. He was at San Julian Park passing out flyers and speaking to voters. Some voters got excited and asked for handfuls of flyers to begin to pass out to voters on the Nickel.  Someone had passed out flyers last night , apparently, because there were already flyers all over skid row when he arrived.

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
