A new neighbor has moved into our quiet corner of Van Nuys Boulevard.  Welcome HAZHEART, the drunk and noisy roommate you never wanted. Nestled between the local post office and a travel agency is our newest friend. Fueled by Four Loko and drunken emo sweat is the hottest little half-clothing store half-venue the boulevard has ever graced its eyes upon. Their ever-welcoming sign outfront reads Come The Fuck In.

The sunbaked out-of-towner cattle are collared by yard-long margaritas and slosh through the muggy neon vortex in Birkenstock flip-flops toward Circle Row—the last refuge for Vegas rejects desperate for any kind of spotlight. Inside the sacrificial pit-like rings, flavor-of-the-day hustlers eye you, waiting for a buck

A mothers persistence, a son's perseverance. An unconditional love is radiated throughout the room when Johnny Hatch reaches to embrace his mother’s head to his heart.  Hatch is 24 years old and lives with autism.
