But being a local and growing up in this neighborhood, the Eat-a-Pita spot was almost a landmark. The dirt that now lays in its spot resembles someone tearing a piece of my childhood memories. I know, it’s only f’n food. As a kid, sitting in the back of your parents car driving up and down Fairfax Ave. and seeing this same spot near Canter’s Deli, you can’t help but have a special spot for this place in your heart.

We don’t have any pics of their food, we got there too late. It was all just quick-sinking mud that stained my Vans, similar to walking through shit to see a dead loved one. Now that it’s over, I’m glad to order some RoRo’s Chicken and feed my Arabic food needs. What a great world, a Jew eating Arabic food without getting stones thrown his direction.

This “Hustle Harder” graffiti set is what remains here. The art is actually very well done and features your favorite beverage-endorsing character, the Kool-Aid Man. Of course it may actually be his evil brother selling that nasty grape-flavored alternative. Check out the full photo gallery below, as well as a preview to my trip to the Illadelph glass shop on Melrose Ave..
