All of us blithely pass places where later our lives take irrevocable turns, where later we create or destroy something of those lives. Ignorantly all of us cross, tens or hundreds of times, life’s significant coordinates. When I was four, my Mom & Dad brought me to the theater across the street, designed in its world-famous Chinese style, to see Lady and the Tramp, and even had I been old enough to ponder such things, it wouldn’t have occurred to me that someday the empty window across the street would be mine. I’ve walked this boulevard many times never supposing someday it would be my address. walks up & down this stretch of road reading stars engraved in the sidewalk. It was six years ago this summer that a Manhattan faux-billionaire & “reality” TV star began his successful campaign to become the 45 th President of the United States.Īnyone who comes to L.A. If you told me six years ago I’d be here, I’d have been astonished, but as we all know, it’s been that kind of six years. I live at the end of one of the most famous boulevards in the world.
