Walking Down The Boulevard, At Your Own Risk
We can’t walk down the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard a bit east of the tourist joints without growing wistful with thoughts of the Deuce back in the day. We appreciate the pageant of down and outs from nearby SRO’s like the Mark Twain, crusty punks down from Seattle for bum break, and LA’s ethnic melange of thugs all mingling amid the backdrop of tatoo joints, a couple edgy bars( Legman’s music editor-at-large Chris Namon was recently carried out of dive Loaded by an ugly mob) and the grease stink of crap eats. Now the Hollywood experience is usually Times Square light, but violence has been ticking up, especially after the douchey clubs let out from Thursday through Sunday. Last night under the Halloween spirit lent cover to a spectacular flare up of beat-downs. This reminds us that the old Times Square was no great shakes. And If you avoid the boulevard, you ain’t missing anything.
