This is the "Mae West" house named for the actress who supposedly stayed here at one point.

I don't know how practical this kind of entrance may be but I like ths look of it.

Of course, there were some concrete gardens.

Santa made a visit. Remember, this walk happened in May. I think this Santa is a permanent installation.

This is an attempt at a garden, I guess.

I don't know where the 'wrong side of the tracks' might be. This whole neighborhood could count as a 'wrong side of the track' area.

These are some of the switches for the light rail project that is under consruction.

I think this used to be a motel. It's a pretty strange looking building.

We found a park for sitting in between the two walks.

The area has some unexpected art deco-style architecture.

If I have to have a chain link fence, which I would never have, I'd want to do something like this to it: paint it pink.

This house has the white picket fence out front, surrounding the green yard...except that green stuff is astroturf. They put fake grass in their front yard.

I guess if this bike gets stolen, it will be easy to identify.
