Gaylords of Desire
The ancient and mysterious Gaylord apartment building is visible from the roof of my office. A friend suggests that if there were ever a portal to the Twilight Zone, it would be the Gaylord.It stands across from the site of the former Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. and is home to porn directors, hookers, coke dealers and affable retirees who have no idea.
The Gaylord is attached to an excellent bar called the HMS Bounty. To use the restroom, one must walk upstairs from the Bounty, cross the marble lobby of the Gaylord, and then go down a flight of stairs. The last time I did this, I was standing at the sink and a voice from a nearby stall said (and I don't think to me), "I'm cold inside."
I took this photograph two nights ago. As is normal with spiritually troubled places, the angel only appeared later.
Nice timing, pal.
