With the reveal of Mayor Karen Bass’s civic budget plan for the year, it’s apparent that LA’s Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) is a low priority in a year fraught with financial hardship. This means Griffith Park, along with […]
Los Angeles can be weird. Often it’s an endearing quality. Other times, not so much. It’s no wonder this city has conjured its own collection of crazy conspiracy theories specific to our locale. Sometimes, they even pop up in this blog, like the time we discussed the legend of Devil’s Gate Dam being a portal […]

April 2024 brings more of that same energy we saw in March as the industry shakes off the accumulated frost of the holiday hibernation. A lot of our communities continued to climb further into the seller’s market, though with less severity. One neighborhood really ingratiated itself to sellers with a double-digit surge.

While a good portion of java junkies are content to line up at the closest Starbucks, a smaller sect demands a little more when caffeine cruising. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of unique local coffee shops to […]
For a city that is decidedly not in Great Britain, Los Angeles is home to a surprising number of British pubs. Now we know what you’re thinking: can we really call an establishment a British pub if it’s in California? We suppose it’s a bit like trying to find an authentic Mexican restaurant in London. […]
Featured image credit: mosaictilehouse_venice Everyone has been transfixed at some point or another by the cascading colors and shapes of a kaleidoscope. But living in one? That takes a special kind of person. Or, in the case of the Mosaic Tile House in Venice, a special couple of people. Not content to just create art, […]
It’s almost that time again. A point when the city itself seems to blossom in a violet-blue phantasmagoria of botanical beauty.
