Last night after being at J, B, and E’s for a bit, I took Santa Monica Blvd home. This way goes through a lot of LA neighborhoods, and thus I saw, in no particular order:

a building (an entire 12 story-plus building) wrapped like a Christmas tree; an city block of Beverly Hills decorated with scenes of Christmas; a building lighted to look like it was snowing; the whole of West Hollywood decked to the nines, including a hopping Wednesday-night party scene, and glowing neon lights at every block; more than five burger restaurants (not fast food ones, either); a woman putting her eye-liner on while waiting at a light; a crashed car lit up with a sign saying “Do Not Drive Drunk” above it in front of the West Hollywood Police Department; a myriad of houses with Christmas trees shining through their front windows.

Happy Christmas, LA.

Building wrapped as a present…
