COVID claims a cool moto hangout in L.A. - Gone in 60 - 07-24-2020

Channeling my inner Dude, or Duder, or El Dudarino (if you’re not into the brevity thing) “It’s a bummer, man. Just... a bummer”.

The House of Machines in Downtown L.A. has closed due to the virus. It was a bar and moto-centric hangout. I had been there not too long ago for the Golden Bolt competition and had tipped a glass or two after shifts at my weekend museum gig.

Located in the Arts District, it was a little hipster perhaps, but it was great to see a venue cater to motorcycle enthusiasts that didn’t require a ride all the way to Malibu, and the freeway home was just over a nearby bridge.

Concurrently, The Bike Shed has been working on a location in the same neighborhood that is supposed to open in the fall, but who knows if that will pan out.

Yeah this Covid is going to hurt a lot of small businesses that were barely making it pre covid. Shame.
