The other day, I found myself walking past these monstrous satellite dishes in Burbank. I think they are there for a TV studio to broadcast from? But I’m not sure. I’d walked by them several times in the past, but getting closer to them required walking onto private property. This time, I decided to investigate by walking up the driveway and then snapped a few shots of two big dishes that I could see on the other side of a hedge. Then I kept walking down the street.
As I walked past another driveway, I saw there were more dishes, and I could get closer to them. So I walked towards them. There were a series of large dishes, and some other smaller things doing I don’t know what. There was also a small building with a sign that read 2901 SATELLITE BUNKER. It all felt very @socialistmodernism. I wondered if the dishes were transmitting information or receiving information or both. I snapped more pics. Then my phone rang, and a woman walking by asked me if she was going the right way to the Chick-fil-A, and I walked back to my car.

One of my photos of Burbank was featured on the City of Burbank’s official Instagram page. The caption: “Our tree-line streets and friendly neighbors are just a couple reasons why Burbank’s neighborhoods are so beautiful.” The post, which was part of a slideshow, is part of their #FeelGoodFriday series.

An excerpt:
4. This morning, I saw the famous wild parrots of Burbank. In total, I spotted maybe a dozen in two different areas. They are brilliant green and noisy as hell. They made me feel like anything was possible if I could figure out how to fly.

Today I went outside for the first time since last Monday. The air appeared to be fresher, and the smell of blooming flowers in a neighboring house seemed more pungent. There were a few cars driving a few blocks away, and there were a few people walking around, but not many. As I was walking back, I saw a man walking towards me. He was about a half a block away. As soon as he saw me, he crossed to the other side of the street. I guess you could say he was a Pandemic Gentleman.

I love Burbank. That place where movies are made and late-night TV happens. A small town inside of a very big town. Long, Magnolia-lined streets. A hodgepodge of people. The best little town that you flew through and left. I’m back.
