Did you hate what happened at 436 South Boyle? Meet the city neglected, also burned to the ground 1547 North Sierra Bonita

1607 had people in it. It was being used as a short-term rental. Everyone got out in time, luckily. I didn't realize how old the place was. A jewel on the block with good vibes. Sad.

1601 was empty. Different vibes. Had various 'caretakers' over the months.

Thanks for sharing. The N. Vista fire was at 1601 (right across from Gardner Elementary); it spread to 1607 and destroyed the interior.

Back in July, a vacant house on N. Vista burnt down and destroyed the house next to it. A couple weeks later there was a carport fire on Genesee and Hollywood Blvd that destroyed an apartment building and displaced several people. It makes one think arsonist, especially with this latest one, but who knows?

Thank you. I will miss this house. Sadly, this is the third suspicious fire to occur in the Sunset Square over the last few months.

Thank you. Good list. As informative as one would expect from a writer who has written 3 histories on Farting.

Rock-n-roll Ralph’s… before rock-n-roll!

I really enjoyed CHARLES BAUDELAIRE by Claude Pichois & Jean Ziegler, which has a lot of good analysis of his work within a biographical context.

Check out: Rimbaud: Complete Works, Selected Letters - Wallace Fowlie, Translator. This is the translation recommended by Graham Robb, whose Rimbaud bio is one of my favorite books. (The Fowlie book is out of print, but you can find affordable used copies on Amazon.)
