CHASING A ROCK AND SOME PICS FROM PAULEY

It has been a long while since i've posted anything here.  I hope  all is well with you my readers.  Over this past weekend I had the opportunity to  witness some history as I , along with other locals, watched as the long awaited Rock made it's way down Wilshire Blvd this past Friday evening on it's way to LACMA.  This piece will be " hanging " on LACMA's north entrance of it's museum, to be ready some time this spring or early summer.   I n trailing this rock down Wilshire I decided to start my route on the corner of Wilshire and Western , the corner where the rock would make it's turn after spending the previous night in South L.A. 
The rock acutally arrived earlier than expected around 1:30 AM and probably could have arrived at LACMA earlier than expected if not for some illegally parked cars that needed towing.

Making it's first stop on Wilshire and Western

Crowds waiting patiently for the rock to pass

Such a lovely moment in time ( I'm talking about the rock !!!! )

The Rock has arrived !!!

OK, now, for an update on Pauley Pavillions renovation.  This Bruin fan sure can't wait for you to open your doors again.

Hey, check out this kid running the track and working on his dribbling skills.  Something tells me he'll be doing that inside that building in a Blue and Gold jersey in about 10 years

Hey, there he goes again.  I'm tellin' ya.  He's gonna be doing that inside that historic building behind him in a Blue and Gold jersey in front of thousands of 8-clappers in about 10 years !!!!
