I have never done this before, but I thought&#8211; hell why not. I then pondered where I wanted to go take photos, and I settled upon going to Hollywood to take some photos. I then packed my Timbuk 2 Commute 2.0 messenger bag with some water and my camera, and hopped on my bike, not sure where this journey would lead me.<\/p>\n<p>When heading toward Hollywood, I decided to ride down Westwood Blvd, and headed up Santa Monica Blvd toward Century City. The first thing I passed was this awesome wall on the side of a liquor store. I hopped off my bike and took a couple of snaps.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/s91.photobucket.com\/albums\/k314\/ekizzle\/Fairfax\/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_0010-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" title=\"Love these Stripes.

I asked one of the locals where I should go to eat, and he highly recommended &#8220;Canters,&#8221; a local deli that has been around for more than fifty years. I went, and took a seat. The waitress asked me what I wanted, and I told her what was popular. Without even flinching, she struck my menu with her stubby and muscular pointing finer, which was aimed at the Pastrami Sandwich. Quite shocked, I jumped back and said I&#8217;d get one. She asked me what I wanted to drink and I automatically said &#8220;Coke.&#8221; Little did I know that Coke was going to cost me $2.50 (damn).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s91.photobucket.com\/albums\/k314\/ekizzle\/Fairfax\/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_0078-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i91.photobucket.com\/albums\/k314\/ekizzle\/Fairfax\/IMG_0078-19.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Eric Kim Street Photography Los Angeles\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyways, the bad boy came out.
