This is definitely true! Anyone in doubt should read a well-researched book about Bonnie and Clyde. It really illustrates this phenomenon with heartbreaking clarity.

By the way, thanks everyone for your suggestions! I ended up going with "No. 6" - a classic. And Lolita, why ask Google when you can ask human beings?

Oooo, I like that last line! Guess I'll try and find and that poem - thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming if anyone has anymore... No I don't have permission, it's a school project.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a favorite Bukowski poem about the race track. I'm printing a book of my final project for photojournalism, which is photos of Santa Anita and HP, and I wanted to use one for the intro. I've combed through my books and the internet and have yet...

That's funny, the first time I went by that place a guy started talking to me who said he had lived in that same building for 30 or 35 years and knew Bukowski. This guy had him sneaking out the back door to avoid fans, and said he lived in the second from front unit. I guess it's the thing to...

Hey there, I walked over there on Saturday (birthday time!) to check out the work they are doing, and it looks awesome. Actually what's going on is that the original windows were replaced by ugly vinyl sliders some time in the last 20 years. They also made the windows much smaller, to...

Noooo, but I would meet you at the gate with a pint of Early Times... Jordan, you summed up everything I have been trying to say for the last several months so beautifully! Nine years is a long time to live anywhere...

He lived there for about 9 years - longer than anywhere else in LA besides childhood residence and San Pedro. Linda is not into it. I see where she is coming from, but I think she's not seeing it in context. She seems to think it's some kind of a shrine, where as I see it as being a part of Los...

Mjp; I know this is your board, and I respect that. However, I wish that you would be a little less cynical, just sometimes at least. Frankly, you were wrong about this working, you were wrong about the Nazi thing sticking, and maybe you are right about this situation, but maybe not - just give...

Hey guys, Just wanted to clear something up- someone bought this property. There are MAJOR fines for tearing something down without a demo permit (see Jonnie's Broiler in Downey and the subsequent drama which has now stretched out a over a year). It really would not make any sense for someone...

Good news (for some) The Planning and Land Use Management committee met today and approved the nomination unanimously. The owners weren't even there to speak. Apparently the property is in escrow, which most likely means someone saw all the press and bought it to renovate. Since we haven't...

I guess, but the thing is lots of people don't even get past his reputation enough to give his work a fair chance, so not always... http://blogs.laweekly.com/ladaily/spot-news/bukowskis-bungalow-saved/ www.linder.com (it should be at the top)

MJP, I don't know what you want me to say here. You accuse me of being naive and idealistic, so I try to frame it in more pragmatic terms. Then the pragmatism apparently is too cynical and elitist. I am doing the best I can with the situation. I don't think it's as dire as you do, but that's...

In this case appealing for the landmark status was to temporarily prevent them from tearing it down. However, if it does go through, there are many benefits to be reaped, in the form of tax breaks, etc. Hopefully these things will make the property attractive to potential buyers, and there will...

I'm not sure when the city council meeting will happen, but I really doubt that the city would put any money towards it. First of all, the price the owners are asking really isn't the market price (as evidenced by it's lack of buyers). They are asking too much. I just read on a blog that a...
