#mycommute #DTLAWalkabout

Walking on Olive on my way home from the subway I glanced up a favorite parking ramp and saw this group of pylons hanging out with a chunk of black rubber. It was a cute little scene. They seemed like they were having a fun, chill time.

A giant suv style pickup truck came down the ramp and a guy I see on the block all the time stepped into the street to help him navigate the left hand turn unto the busy street. I walked up the ramp and snapped this pic, standing behind the big truck as it idled there. The driver eyeballed me.

I walked back down to the sidewalk and the guy kinda shouted at me: You parked up in there?

Nope. I’m walking.

At the same moment a woman I also see around was walking down the block and took offense to me appearing on the sidewalk from what must have seemed like out of nowhere. Get the fuck away from me with you’re big ass black outfit!

The guy directing traffic came to my defense. She’s not doing anything! She’s walking!

I stepped to the side so as to not crowd her. I flashed a little peace sign to them all and kept walking towards home.
