Tale of the Red-Tail...

During our wonderful heavy rain storm last Friday, I hit the roof to make sure our drains were all in working order. As I approached the west side of the roof, screeching immediately began. I looked up to see one of our regal Wilshire Blvd red-tailed hawks sitting on our Gaylord neon scaffolding and it was not very happy to see me. The hawk gave me a thorough chewing out and asked that I please leave it alone. I politely backed up and replied in return to the hawk, 'please do not break our neon because it is very EXPENSIVE to repair each time someone does break it' and left it to continue on with the business of cleaning it's feathers.

Comedy Event this Sunday...

The Gaylord's very own comic, Carl, returns this Sunday, December 14th, with his Holiday Show. The event will take place from 8-10pm. Be sure to come out and enjoy the tales of holiday hilarity.

Washington, D.C. Bound...

The Gaylord, became a D.C. apartment building (Barrington Court) once again for television's 'Scandal.' Home to the character, Olivia Pope, played by the masterful, Kerry Washington. There will be 3 scenes in an upcoming episode with interior & exterior shots at the Gaylord. I am sure you would not mind seeing Jake (Scott Foley) running the stairwell in his skivvies! I know I did not mind while he was standing outside of my office door in such a state of affair, while waiting for the scene to be shot.

Another Era...

... when cigarette billboards abounded publicly. Here on the side of the Gaylord are Marshall Dillon (James Arness) and Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake) of 'Gunsmoke' fame, promoting L&M cigarettes from 1958-59. For you youthful readers not familiar with Marshall Dillon and the original Miss Kitty (not the animated cat), "Gunsmoke' was a television series that ran on CBS for 20 years from 1955-1975.

Would it not be nice to have the Brown Derby returned to our corner and not the unappealing strip mall that is attached to our home today?
