Just across the border in Santa Monica, the legendary pioneer punk venue called � ���"Blackie's� �� � is now a chic restaurant run by a world famous chef.

Don't get the idea that his columnist has gone Yuppie just because of his visits to the Cow's End. When this columnist recently chatted with Caleb, the owner, we asked where the cow which was on top of the building many years ago went, he pointed to the cow and immediately knew this columnist was not a � ���"johnny come lately� �� � newbie.
