It’s been about three weeks since we left Brooklyn and moved out to Los Angeles. So far so good. The driving is still a novelty and having a car is kind of fun. Howard Stern and Sirius XMU make the time in the car fly. I’m in the car at least 90 minutes a day and am still trying to be very “zen” about crawling through downtown on the 110.
Silver Lake is as great as everyone said and it’s an easier transition moving here than somewhere on the West Side. It feels somewhat like Brooklyn (at least the Brooklyn we lived in), young families, nice local shopping and friendly neighbors. The main difference, of course, is you drive to get stuff rather than walk.
The food here is amazing, but the bagels are really bad. Suggestions? Dodger Stadium is an awesome place to watch a baseball game especially when the Dodgers are losing the Giants. One of my bosses, Chris Gibbin, is in the process of making a movie called “City of Jerks” and I checked out one of his location shots near the top of Runyon Canyon which was another cool new experience.
That’s really the best part about all of this. Every day it’s something new. New places to eat, new places to buy groceries, new people to meet, new roads to drive on, new places to see my kid super happy. He’s loving it here. Having a backyard, frontyard and a roomy house is making him a happy little man which is really what it’s all about anyway.
