DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — I've been under the weather the past two days, so that's why things have been quiet here. Even from the apartment, though, I can hear the helicopters circling 7th/Hope, where a DASH bus crashed into the Rite-Aid.
Convenient that it was tonight and not last night, since yesterday about this time Kathy was picking up a prescription for me from that same store.

I spotted this while going eastbound aboard a Wilshire line 20 bus. What a crash--up on the sidewalk straight into the entrance. I was actually planning to shop there after dropping off some materials in the display rack at the Central Library. Had to instead go via the 6th Street bus to Wilshire/Western Savon.
