Moving 27miles West to West L.A.

We are finally moving to the West Side of Los Angeles. Jawn having lived in Pasadena, Monterey Park and San Gabriel, is finally moving with his LOVELY wife, Crystal to a HUGE 1,100 square feet duplex in West Los Angeles. We are sad to leave the delicious food haven for Asian cuisine after being spoiled for 1.5 years in the middle of San Gabriel. Well, here is the floor plan of the new rental we are getting. Easily the largest place Jawn and Crystal has ever lived in since coming to Los Angeles.

The main entrance is from the upper left hand corner. The living room / dining room is big enough for a small church to start meeting! (364 s.f.!!!) Then as you keep moving rightwards in the plan, you would arrive at the kitchen and a nice breakfast nook (about 7' x 7'). Just north of that a litte, is the undersized utility room with built in washer and dryer. That is a bonus for us as we can just directly throw our dirty laundry in there! Then the bedroom we would be sleeping in is at the upper right hand corner. At the left of that would be the bathroom which would have enough space for our oft-neglected fish tank. Then the next room to the left would become our study/guest room. Next to the main entrance is a shoe storage room. We would be fencing up the outside service corridor for Poogi to stay during the day! (Can you see the dog in the drawing???)

It just 2 miles from Crystal's new office, Horton Lees Brogden Lighting. She would be leaving her much adored office of Francis Krahe and Associates for an exciting change in her career. This new place would also be closer to the office of Frank Gehry. Jawn would be taking Ballona Creek by bicycle (hopefully) at least 3 times a week. http://www.ballonacreek.org/

We just bought a Cannondale Lifecycle AIDS awareness bike. Not the prettiest colors but very functional. Jawn is hoping to cut some of his fats out and keep a healthy heart beat.
