"Sausage Kitchen" -- the shop along Olympic Boulevard in L.A. near the border of Santa Monica that was well-known among a certain portion of the local populace for its selection of European imported meat products. Many years ago I was stopped in traffic right in front of the place, and I just happened to look over, and there was Ray Bradbury coming out of the shop. Ray Bradbury, the author of such science fiction classics as The Illustrated Man and The Martian Chronicles (which have been made into a movie and a television series). I remember it was in warm weather and he was dressed casually, in a pair of shorts and a bright flowery Hawaiian shirt, which for some reason I found quite humorous. This photo was taken after the fact of course, but it was still a long time ago; I wonder if the shop is still there.
