Carpeteria Genie

Blue Genie

I'm sure that there is one of these in North Hollywood. It's on Laurel Canyon Blvd. and Hart St. between Sherman Way and Vanowen. Have you guys seen these genies? They used to scare the hell out of me as a kid. They have two faces (Actually they are two sided). As you drive by you see the giant, evil and swarthy genie face looking at you. Then after you drive by you turn around and It's still looking at you! Creepy!

Maybe It's the way he's holding a huge roll of carpet over his head... Waiting to crush you as drive by. Okay, trust me -- when you're 5 years old, it's scary. Now I could probably kick his fiberglass ass.
