Chickens & Pigs
Only in Hollywood. Well, technically, it was West Hollywood where I found this chicken wandering in the manicured front yard of a house on Martel Ave. Another couple that had parked their car on this side street of Melrose was also stopped in their tracks by this hen. The bird wasnÕt at all disturbed by us and kept to his lawn pecking. We all shrugged and went on our merry way to the freak show that is Melrose Ave on a Sunday afternoon. An hour later when I returned to my car, there he was Ð still in the same front yard strutting his stuff. You tell me. A pet or someoneÕs dinner that got away?
In other farm animal news Ð The Pig & Whistle on Hollywood Blvd, which is right next to the American Cinematheque is the BEST DEAL IN TOWN! They have a HAPPY HOUR every day of the week from 4 Ð 7. Two for one beers (of which they have many flavors) and well drinks and 50% off selected appetizers. So basically two people could have two beers a piece (even Guinness) and a large plate of calamari for thirteen bucks. Even better Ð itÕs kind of transient because of the tourist factor, so you never have to wait long for a barstool. They also have sidewalk patio seating so THAT freak show is passing by at all hours. Tell Melanie Nora and David sent yaÕ!
