to sleeping in our own bed again but for the next few nights we're staying at a friends place in Culver City. While the Culver City of today is pretty cool in a hipster suburban sortta way The Culver City of the past is fab-u-los. Basically this little Los Angeles neighborhood used to be the back lot of the M-G-M studios. Now there's not much left from the old days but one of the best to an Oz head like me has to be the Culver Hotel:
The Culver is most famous or in this case infamous for it's connection to the Wizard of Oz. This is the very hotel that housed the Singer Midgets or for those of you who dated as teenagers The Munchkins. The small unassuming building will go down in history as the sight of the worlds biggest all midget orgy. We've vowed to check out the rest of Culver City while we're here something about galleries and restaurants and blah,blah blah. But there's no way we're gonna miss seeing a piece of that yellow brick road inside the now SONY studio lot (tours daily) and if we're really lucky we may even see Vanna White or maybe even these guys?
Represent my little friends!
Represent!
