Carolyn's Soul Food Restaurant on Manchester, around Central is worth the bang for your buck if you do it right. The yams are yummy, with alot of brown sugar. The mashed potatos are deliciously rich, filled with plenty of butter and a hint of garlic. The wings that I had today were smoothed in gravy, yet fatty. I enjoyed my meal none the less. I enjoyed the corn bread muffins, again, with alota butta. Things go a lt'l slow here but hey, isn't that how good soul food is prepared, simmerin along the way? I really appreciated they food but they needed to pump it up a knotch.

I'm back!

I found out what held those buildings together was the walls with graffitti showing the city's dignity, respect and hope. Virgin de Guadalupe, Cesear Chavez, and alike have all shown their faces on these walls in South Central Los Angeles, giving hope to the city.
Going to "All Star Fish"on Avalon and 85th Street has been an "ethnic experience", all and of it's own. Crossing the street with my food I was chased away for taking a photograph of Cesear Chavez on the adjacent wall, shortly after it's tagging. I agreed with the young man and quickly drove away to find yet another confrontation with the Deviant mortorcyle club on Avalon for photographing their red entrance door. I quickly drove away with my driver door still ajar as they came down the sidewalk to see what I was up to, in their territory. I soon realized that the open public streets were not our's after all, but their's, creating a re-newed sense of respect. So much for the fish, although it is good, and I especially like the cole slaw. The portions are small for the cost, but it is fresh fish!
