I must have a thing for shacks.
Sometimes you walk out of Magee’s Donuts (6705 Santa Monica Blvd, Tinseltown, USA) with your warm croissant and cup of coffee and think to yourself, “Christ almighty isn’t it time I bought one of those tiny replicas of Michelangelo’s David™ for my front yard / desk?” At these times, and additionally at many many times which are not those times, Statue Shack is there for you. Statue Shack keeps odd, long hours for the Magee’s clientele and those in need of a 3am David™. At press time it remains unclear if the l o o n y h o u s e in Hancock Park purchased all of their David™s at Statue Shack or not. I will interview the proprietor of Statue Shack the next time I’m making a 730am crosstown run, and update this post with any information gleaned.

In the photo in the article above, you can see a political mask or two on the leftmost David™s … that shot was taken some time around halloween, just before the elections. Damn. I was so happy just before the elections.
[...] A second statue shack has been recently spotted on La Brea in mid-city, south of Wilshire and slightly north of San Vicente. It is unknown at press time if this shack is affiliated with the famed Magee’s Donuts Statue Shack on Santa Monica Boulevard. It is also unknown which shack, if either, was chosen to be the famed purveyor of David™s for the House of David™s in Hancock Park. House of David™s would clearly be a gravy account for either shack, to say the least. [...]
