"Crapi" Apartments In West Los Angeles

crapiapartments.jpgI was driving down Overland Avenue and glanced over at this nicely upgraded apartment building — fresh paint, new fences, clean, nice. My glance also caught the sign and I was already to far past it to look again and I thought “It must have said “Capri” like many other funky old apartment buildings in LA” But when I drove by again another day and indeed it says “Crapi.” (Click for bigger…)

I find that hilarious and I hope that they did it on purpose…

    That is fantastic! I’m going to assume same owners with great senses of humor. I wonder what these referbs look like inside…

    Absolutely Fabulous! What’s the cross street? I think it’s my old neighborhood.

    It’s on Overland just north of Palms (south of the 10) and is on the east side of the street.
