    Meet Me At 3rd and Fairfax!

    ‘ So the other night, while my mom and I were walking through the Farmers Market after dinner, I told her to keep her eyes peeled for celebs.  “Here???” my mom asked me in disbelief pointing to the numerous outdoor tables and metal folding chairs.  “Yes!”, I told her.  “No, here????” she asked me again.  LOL  She could not…

    Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of rap.  My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop).  The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001.  Regardless, when I heard…
