Driving south on Normandie or Vermont the landscape becomes harsh and unfamiliar. Cracked buildings and lack of regular businesses are the most striking urban characteristics, like this Sam's Watermelons shack. 

Or this forgotten bakery. 

Or this forgotten bus stop. 

Hopefully renovation will come soon.

Ahhh! Palm Trees!

First thing that comes to mind when I think of California are palm tress. Most of us are used to them as a normal part of the landscape, but I am always fascinated how long long time ago some urban planner (or not) decided to plant them in a perfectly straight line down the streets. It never seize to amaze me.
