Bukowski’s famous bungalow in East-Hollywood, where he did some of his best work, and which appears in several of his books.
The bungalow was bought privately and supposed to be destroyed to free the land for construction back in 2007. But a movement arrised attempting to preserve it, and the Los Angeles’s Cultural Heritage Commission ended up declaring it a Cultural Monument, thus saving it as a landmark for fans to visit.

“blow it with my blood” may refer to Juicy’s presumed gang affiliations. You probably shouldn’t stroll by him with a blue bandana hanging out of your left-back pocket

That’s about ¾ of a brick, around 30 bottles of Actavis syrup, or more than 10 pounds of loud weed.
Please do not contest me on the interpretation of the lyric or the amount of drugs he is buying. Jesus, people.
