When we said the weather was so good you should go out and enjoy it, by "enjoy" we did not mean "drive to skid row and try to score some heroin." Which is what unfortunate actor Brad Renfro did yesterday. Unfortunate because yesterday undercover cops were on skid row posing as dope dealers, and Brad was one of the 14 people they nabbed (that's Brad before, left, and after, right). Aren't Hollywood-types supposed to have "people" to do their dope-scoring? Where's Turtle when you need him?
The code phrase to bring out the cops to make the arrest? "Cancel Christmas." Aw, man.

Check out Renfro trivia on imdb.com. He's got quite a record of drug charges! Can't really call him "unfortunate."
That picture was taken on Main Street I believe, or possibly the alley between Main and Spring. But as far as Renfro "driving down to Skid Row" to score, haven't you heard that Skid Row has officially been pushed further eastward since the white people with money moved into the converted lofts in the area? Skid Row now doesn't begin until at least Los Angeles Street, maybe even Maple. You think I'm joking, but I even see white people walking down Main Street walking their dogs, occasionally. Oh sure, the process is still ongoing, but you come back in five years and look at all the bookstores, art galleries and Starbucks, and you tell me who's in control of the neighborhood.
