I’m sorry I don’t have a better picture to accompany, but I wanted to thank reader Anonymous and reader Jules - they may be the same reader - for the update on who is responsible for the tub of thirst-quenchers at the Fuller entrance at Runyon Canyon (for the previous post, click here.)
Per Anonymous:
I go to Runyon a lot, entering on Fuller, and the weekend staple of that entrance is the shaved ice cart. Have you ever seen it? This tub of drinks looks a lot like the tub of drinks that the shaved ice cart has when they’re around. Seems likely that they’re related. If you go on a weekend (I assume this isn’t from the weekend?) you should be able to figure out the answer. By the way, the shaved ice is awesome on a hot summer day! It’s like $2 or $3 and they have at least a dozen syrups to choose from.
Per Jules:
the shave ice cart and the honor system tub are from one and the same - a guy (and his sweet white pit bull) who is often there manning the shave ice. he is an actor and proudly displays his head shot on the cart. when he is not around he leaves the tub of drinks, i saw him there tonight picking it up at dusk! what a great idea.
Can’t wait to go check this guy and his delicious shave ice out! If anyone nabs a pic of the actor, his pit bull, and his headshot before I do, send it on over and I will definitely post it (with photo credit of course)!

I love the total LA-ness of this story.
