Hyperventilation | leinehed.com » Compton http://blog.leinehed.com Hello and welcome to the blog of graphic designer and former Hyper Island student Sebastian Leinehed. Hyperventilation is my online journal where I post thing that I find interesting, amusing and inspiring.

We went there, sat down in the afternoon sun, chilled and enjoyed the view. Had we known its reputation before going there we probably would have thought twice about going, but it actually was totally fine. The park is closed to the public between 19 and 05, which probably makes sense…

Here’s what we believe to be an ice cream truck, that tune is still stuck in my head…

This is us heading back south after the park hangout. We went past downtown and headed for Little Tokyo to get some döner kebabs, but I convinced Sean that we should first take a little detour in an area we hadn’t explored yet on our way there. We turned a corner around a block and the clean and well lit streets immediately turned into pitch dark alleys with strung out people scattered on the sidewalk. We started to feel a bit anxious while entering the next block, and the first thing we see is a fist fight between 7-8 people in the middle of the street. Me and Sean agreed that it was pretty good time to turn the bikes around, so we went back up to the streets we knew, and then made it to Little Tokyo for the best kebab I’ve ever had, while pondering the importance of not turning the wrong corner. Anyways, a nice finish to a nice day.

Oh, I googled the shady area today by the way, and it turned out to be one of the roads leading into Compton after a few km… We may litterally have dodged a bullet there.
