: New:

My parents told me about a library for dogs on 6th Avenue between Cabrillo and Fulton (I think?): a box of tennis balls. Take a ball, leave a ball. That seemed like a better idea than the library for dogs I was familiar with on Waller near Del Mar. It was clearly labeled for sticks. But good-sized sticks kinda sprawl out of the box. This morning, I went back to the Waller St. library and saw: In addition to a couple of stubby sticks, people were putting tennis balls in this library, too. Even though the label clearly read "sticks." Welcome to Waller Street; some documentation may be out of date.

Nearby at Downey: A couple of DraINvader Space Invader drain covers.

a couple of 'libraries' out in front of a blue building. The bigger one has books and is labeled for children. It is painted blue and styled with a fake bay window and other deco to resemble the building behind it. There is also a red box, a library for dogs albeit not obviously because you probably can't read the label from this far away red box labeled 'stick library and treats'. Half of it is covered and latched. I didn't check, but I guess that's where they keep the treats, with a latch to keep out raccoons. The other half is open. It contains a couple of stubby stick fragments; also a couple of tennis balls patch of sidewalk with a couple of covered drains. instead of the usual plain drain covers, these are brightly colored with raised pixel art reminiscent of the old Space Invaders game. They are signed @draINvader
