I always thought it was *normal*, but seeing it like this really makes you see how it's something out of a technicolor-Edward Scissorhands sort of reality. <BR/><BR/>Also in that hood is Westlake Joe's. It's a total time-warp. I used to take my Great-Aunt there for dinner - they pour huge, boozy cocktails, and there's even a real working cigarette vending machine in the bar. <BR/><BR/>Props to Westlake! They don't make them like that any more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-16021999455142894342008-12-05T08:13:00.000-08:002008-12-05T08:13:00.000-08:00i really THANK YOU for the post! i definitely woul...i really THANK YOU for the post! i definitely would love to live in a ticky tacky Little boxes house someday! ^_^sasabibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916431416570154431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-41204971981437397172008-12-05T07:56:00.000-08:002008-12-05T07:56:00.000-08:00I feel like I'm on the set of Edward Scissorhands!...I feel like I'm on the set of Edward Scissorhands!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-13061425855925802572008-12-05T07:42:00.000-08:002008-12-05T07:42:00.000-08:00cute neighborhood, love the vintage feel!cute neighborhood, love the vintage feel!Tina { Luphia Loves... }https://www.blogger.com/profile/00060334118072297295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-74395044504252729102008-12-05T07:24:00.000-08:002008-12-05T07:24:00.000-08:00Unless that topiary is a growing trend, I think I ...Unless that topiary is a growing trend, I think I went to an open house for the first picture.
