My standard shameless plug: A few months ago I started a blog about less-than-successful Craigslist posts. It's called You Suck at Craigslist , and I...
I lived above a photo developer in the mid-90s. It was fine, except that their security alarm would go off in the middle of the night on a regular basis, and apparently the owner/manager lived far ...

There's also CLpic.com, which defaults to Chicago but lets you choose your area.
I've posted this before on Craigslist-related threads, so forgive my shameless self-promotion, but fol...
I recently went back to see the house I'd grown up in. It's only one owner removed from my family; my mother was the original owner of the house and owned it for more than 30 years, and when she re...

I like it -- I'd like it more if someone said that they did it that way because they were recycling siding, or something like that, but I like it as it is.
Also, I like the bright yell...
I was teaching at UIUC then. I didn't have a television, and for some reason I wasn't listening to the radio on the way in to school, so I got to school and taught my first class, completely oblivi...
I'm not surprised the cats avoid this box during the day -- there's only one entrance/exit and so with the dog around they may feel threatened.
My cats would never use this kind of set...
Not for all kitties, though: with only one entrance/exit some more skittish kitties might not want to use the litter box for fear of being trapped inside it.
My office is painted orange -- it was supposed to be a terracotta, but it turned out a little bit brighter orange than I'd thought. I really like it, especially since I live somewhere where the win...
Chester, my first cat. He was being boarded at the vet's office, having just been diagnosed with renal failure, while I was across the country waiting for my grandfather to die. He took a turn for ...
I was there for a conference a few years ago. I saw a gorgeous photo opportunity and waited for twenty minutes hoping that a guy who was just standing in the walkway, not moving, would leave! I fin...

I love it! It really brightens the space. Wood floors would look too monochromatic, and anything dark would bring the focus down.
So not fair that it's LA only. It's bad enough that I don't even live in a proper city ... I have to deal with crappy closets as well.
