Union Station

A good friend asked me if I could dust off my architecture license and render some advice concerning the possibility of building a studio on his property. It turned out to be a no-go situation... par for the course.

And so it goes.

I generally tell people that I have taken architecture and stuffed it up into my lower chakra. A wink, a nudge, but I'm serious too. I'll never say never but I will keep that capacity in the root chakra rather than wield it for something that is less than inspiring. (No reflection on my friend who greatly inspires me. It was the framework of the situation that did not favor the architectural move.)

So on this day, I scootered over to the Budget Rent a Car at Union Station and paid for a ride to my friend's place, a visit to the building department to find the parameters that would eventually kill off our field of dreams.

Pues, nada.

Our consolation: this montage of LA's finest architectural treasure, Union Station.
