Night Watch Visits Coyotes Bar in Hollywood
Night Watch is a regular feature about bars and clubs by nightlife columnist Tara Nieuwesteeg. It was in the low 70s–breezy, but pleasant–as my wingman and I walked up starry Hollywood Boulevard. The air was crisp, and the street was alive with the clicking of high heels, the kind of…

Holiday Haz

Skateboard Film Pits Overtown Against Sistrunk
“Don’t make like this is Beverly Hills. This is the real goddamn hood. The motherfuckin’ hood.” So warns the gentleman watching workers set up lights and cameras in front of a graffiti-strewn, one-story yellow house. The man’s name is Tommie Lee Carter Sr. — “but they call me Kool-Aid.” It…
