The current LACo Sta 51

For those who may not know, Sta 51 is located on the grounds on Universal Studios, Hollywood. My second favorite honeymoon activity ;) was getting a close up look of the apparatus at that station. I even got a picture of me next to the then current squad 51. This was before digital so I don't know were that pic actually is.
For anyone planning a visit to Universal, ask if you can visit the station. The worse they can do is say no. If your lucky like I was, they will escort you back-lot to the station. Also, if you take the backlot tour, sit on the right side and be ready quick. The bus drives by the station PDQ.

I think it helped that I was wearing a dept. t-shirt. I wish I could find the pics I took.; ▶ Reply to This

Of course I always drive safely and utilize Due Regard. That's why I didn't just hop in front of the cars hoping that they would stop for me. It just irks me that people are either A.) THAT oblivious when operating a motor vehicle, or B.) That unc...

Andrew replied to Andrew's discussion 'Common Uncourtesy'

This is true. It's personally happened to me, I've heard horror stories about it, and someone I work with has even stated that she purposely does this as well. However, if it were her house on fire, or her husband and/or children that needed help,...
