Wonderful Laidley Street
This is the old Sally Stanford mansion one block above World Headquarters, on a small street called Wonderful Laidley Street, which is filled on both sides with architecturally fascinating homes. Lots of artists and architects live up here, along with a ton of FJL's who run by very fast on the sidewalk, in a perfectly straight line, sneering as they listen to their Joan Armatrading CDs, with their poopsy dogs on leashes straining to keep up with their mistresses' frantic pace.
Mischief doesn't care. He endures the angry stares and pees with pleasure wherever the fancy strikes him. One after the other, these really are magnificent homes. The one that follows is called the Eyebrow House. You can see why.
It's a fantastic neighborhood. Plotnik would have taken more photos, but he ran into his old neighbor who was walking her parents' two dogs. Mischief took one look at them and that was the end of the leisurely stroll on Wonderful Laidley Street.

Such an enjoyable post ~ thanks, now there is yet another new street to visit!
FJL's? I'm not sure what that means. Probably something that one who lives in the suburbs isn't supposed to know.
Great pictures though - I love the eyebrow thing.
The J refers to the activity they are pursuing. The F refers to the desperately serious looks on their faces while they're doing it. The L is Plotnik's guess that you probably have to be an angry L to get so pissed off just because you see a smiling man walking a happy dog.
I can now sometimes look at SF photos without getting my heart all twisted. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
It’s the owl house. Formerly Hell
House. Not eyebrow.
