This made me tear up because I miss L.A. sometimes. If I was to actually return I would hate it, but I definitely foresee some visits in my future. My grandma worked at Phillipe's deli, which is still in existence on Alameda and kinda tracks with his fave locations. I don't know when she worked there during its history but her picture is on the wall in a group staff photo. Thx for the read.
