en route

[watchmyhead]

it's really a short distance from my apartment, passed milton j. black streamline moderne apartments in white and avocado green, and alongside the heavy rush of traffic on beverly boulevard to fairfax avenue. the 780 rapid stop, ironically enough, is where i pulled over when my suv was struck by a bigger and stealthier caddilac escalade in december, its bumper gathering dust in my bedroom since after i recovered it. from there, the bus travels north with infrequent stops as it turns right onto hollywood, a stretch i would normally avoid when i drove. the bus turns left on vermont, a familiar avenue of restaurants and shops, and then to los feliz at which point i have only three more stops until i reach my destination.

i thought i would be severely handicapped if i were to not have a car, inconvenienced by the expanse of this city. i am starting to prove myself wrong.
