Los Angeles could be getting a digital makeover in the not-so-distant future… and not everybody’s thrilled about it. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has officially proposed erecting up to 93 digital billboards to capitalize on billboard advertising opportunities. But now the national non-profit organization Scenic America is speaking out against the ambitious revenue-accruing plan. And they’ve […]
On March 17th, the green beer flows like the raging LA River to the thirsty revelers of Los Angeles. And thanks to the rainfall, this is the only year we can use that comparison, so we hope you enjoyed it! With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Friday, your local Irish pub will no doubt […]

Thankfully, even in those early days, there were plenty of service stations to keep motorists moving. But time has worked its magic.

Everything was louder: the personalities, the fashion, and even the architecture. A lot of that visual flair can be attributed to a style that had been gaining popularity in France since around 1910.

Admittedly, “normal” for the Los Angeles housing market would still give a mechanical bull a run for its money. But our agents have learned to ride those bucks and dips without spilling a drop of […]

The absorption rate had massive drops toward a buyer’s market in Encino and Northridge. That’s not to detract from decent bumps further into seller’s market territory in Burbank and Palmdale.

Punctuating an admittedly bizarre stretch of Western Avenue, the world’s strangest KFC stands unapologetically. Now, a KFC in Los Angeles doesn’t typically inspire doubletakes.
