<<When I was a political fundraiser in Los Angeles ('77
- '86), I lived
mid-Wilshire (near a lot of bars in the BARFLY montage) and
ate
frequently at PACIFIC DINING CAR as it was very close to my
office. It's
as good as Ellroy states. Been around forever. A favorite of
oldtime
politicos. My boss, at the time, a bigtime boozy broad
fundraised for
Nixon et al. During that time, I was also a member of the
Guardian
Angels and patrolled mostly mid-Wilsire and occasionally
South Central.
That whole period of my life is rather Ellroy-esque. It
hasn't stopped
in some ways. The man I've been dating (just a short while)
just hit me
up for $4K. Right. He's been embezzling from his company.
Scrambling to
cover his tracks. I'm cutting him loose. No Ponzi's for
me.>>
I'd say there's a novel floating around in your immediate
vicinity. "No
Ponzis For Me" sounds good.
