Felt the urge to put some more down. This one is true. Enjoy.

Griffith Park is a great place for a hike. You can see the city from up there. Plenty of parking. They got the observatory. The zoo. Autry Museum with a bunch of cowboy and Native American exhibits. The Greek Theater is up there, I saw Johnny Cash up there once- I think. They got a public golf course up there. There’s a carousel for the kids. Travel Town with train rides. They have little ponies for the kids. You can even get free mulch on the back side by Forest Lawn Cemetery. Yeah, great place. The guy it’s named after sure is one of the original all time Assholes though. Griffith J Griffith, called himself a Colonel to make himself feel more important. Typical late 1800’s robber baron industrialist that used dirty money to pull dirtier deals. Bought up huge chunks of Los Angeles. Drank for a living and pulled a pension from oil. At some point he married a gal, at another point he shot her in the face in a second floor hotel room in Santa Monica. Bullet cost her an eye, she jumped out of the second story window and lived. Griffith only got two years in Folsom for it. Dirty money does that. After he got out nobody wanted to do business with him, at least not on the record. He shit out a bunch of money to the city to try and clear his name. Donated a bunch of land for the park. He was still an Asshole though. Died like one too, liver disease. Fucking drunk scumbag. Great park though.
