It’s October 18th, 2023 here in La La Land, and the heat just won’t quit. Ask anyone on the street and they’d tell you our idea of Fall weather is a mild warm breeze. Just as I turned on the news, they gave the report of some madwoman running about in the Sherman Oaks area of LA, setting fire to anything she could find. The police managed to catch up to her once they got her in their sights, the perp reeking of gasoline and a crazed look in her eyes. As always, the usual suspects held up in their usual ways.
Anyway, my wonderfully faithful companion and I decided to head towards Long Beach and check out Deforest Park. It’s supposedly one of the most haunted places in the city besides the Queen Mary; and being right before Halloween, I figured it could be fun. But when we got there the only things we found were homeless, drug-pushers, and a few crazy kids from around the way. We managed to make our way safely through the trails and steps to the edge of the Los Angeles river. It was quite a bewitchingly beautiful sight, with the gentle flow of the river contrasting against the structures and rise of the buildings in the background.
As the day slowly fades, I can safely say I had a great time here in Los Angeles this 18th of October. Until next time…
