On the bus
Sometimes I take the bus to GRHQ. When I do, one of my favorite parts of the day is skateboarding to the stop. I cross Santa Monica Blvd. at La Peer and then go east for a couple blocks. The sidewalk there is so glassy and wide that one kick will take you far. It feels great to roll around planters and carve up and down driveways until I slide to a stop around San Vicente.
Almost a month of doing this passed when I realized that my bus stop is right in front of Rage, which was an infamous gay nightclub when I was a UCLA student in the later '80s. There weren't as many places like that back then--at least not many that everyone knew about--and it was the type of place that frat guys would joke about.
Now that's one of my favorite spots for cruising. Who knew?

Rage used to be my favorite spot to sell drugs since Gay people don't rob kids.
I like that new terminology u came up with. "Glassy sidewalk". I'm gonna have to check out the back issues of Thrasher to see if you can copyright that.
