This is for my cousin Gaynor, with her love of ghost signs ... from this morning's drive to work. I can't quite read it - the lower word is surely HOTEL, but on top...? Of course I could dig it out from old street directories, but that's for another day. So is a trip to the Silver Platter, on the corner -still Los Angeles' premier Latinx gay/trans bar (about which Wu Tsang made a documentary film), although, after a very long day, I could murder a beer.
