Keys Made ‘Why You Wate’: A Paean to the Shacks of Vermont

Good Christ but I do have a fascination with locksmith shacks. Why is this?
Top: 5000′s Vermont. Inglewood.
Bottom: 900′s Vermont. Ktown. Frontage assists in hiding venerable blood sausage joint
According to the Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wate
Wate: the period of time in between the point of laying down and actually falling asleep at night.
“I didn’t fall asleep last night for like an hour during my wate.”
So…Why I wate? I was too excited about getting a new key.
That second shop seriously can do a lot of things. Coffee! Boba! Keys! Garage Remote Controls! Clock Batteries! Blood Sausage! That rules.
5000-ish block of Vermont is nowhere near Inglewood, brah.
Pete if you Brah me one more time without actually correcting me and telling me where the hell it is, I’m going to Brah every article on your blog. Gloves off
No problem, broseph. 5000-6000 Vermont is in prime “South Los Angeles.” Maxine Waters used to live around there, but she bought a house in Hancock Park, presumably to distance herself from locksmith shacks and auto body shops. The law allows US Representatives to live outside their districts as long as they live in the same county.
Thanks. Next, what’s the threshold for being “nowhere near” something? Not to pete a dead horse, mind you, but this approximate locale is a few miles from the forum which, as a Pete, you already know is in prime Inglewood. Are you sure you didn’t mean ‘relatively near’ ?
My typical exaggeration. West Boulevard being the eastern boundary of Inglewood north of either Manchester or Florence (I can’t remember which), it would be 3-4 miles from 5000 Vermont to the Inglewood city limits. Not exactly “Inglewood adjacent,” unless you’re a realtor trying to sell something on Normandie Avenue as “Silver Lake adjacent.”
