Street Seen: Ghosts Of Los Angeles

A passerby provided this unexpected supernatural consequence while I stopped during my bike ride home from work Monday night to snap a timed exposure of the actual ghost that is Johnnie’s Coffee Shop. Its brightly lighted corpse has sadly haunted this corner of Fairfax and Wilshire for the last 10 years. There may be valid reasons for its long-standing demise, but I will never comprehend or accept how it is that such an establishment — one so architecturally significant and in such a prime location as the Miracle Mile’s Museum Row — is allowed to abominably atrophy instead of be a vibrant part of its community.
