Thankfully, even in those early days, there were plenty of service stations to keep motorists moving. But time has worked its magic. Gone are those faithful service stations of yore, replaced by newer models. Except […]
Featured image credit: Antoine Taveneaux The Roaring Twenties didn’t just get their name from the din of the jazz bands. 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. Today, we […]
Featured image credit: Griffith Observatory If there’s one neighborhood in Los Angeles that definitely lives up to its name, it’s Los Feliz. Located in close proximity to downtown and burgeoning neighborhoods like Silverlake, Glendale, Studio City, and Hollywood, it’s central to a good portion of the city’s most popular attractions. The hardest part is prying […]
Looking at February’s absorption rate analysis makes January’s look downright turbulent. Perhaps the market is approaching a state of normalcy. 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 […]
All photos: The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts On fertile Rancho Cucamonga ground replete with lemon trees and Mediterranean greenery stands the rustic Sam Maloof house. It may seem unassuming at first. Yet, an artist’s hands built virtually every square inch you see. In fact, it was constructed from the ground […]

Established by legendary jazz trumpeter Herb Alpert, the swanky space is replete with his trademark sultry smoothness. Inviting, warm […]
Featured image credit: Eric T. Gunther Jagged, snow ravaged peaks scrape frosty clouds; a steel gray contrast overpowering blue skies. Blankets of deceptively powdery snow, punctuated by puma prints, blanket thick, unyielding slabs of ice. Silence is broken by the cascading rustle of falling ice shards and frozen boulders gaining shudder-inducing inertia. No, we’re not […]
At first glance, January seems like it was a big month for the Los Angeles housing market… at least in some neighborhoods. 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. But while these […]
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. But in that blur of the map where East Hollywood is often mistaken for Koreatown looms one of the most futuristic buildings in the city. And, again, it’s a KFC. We’re […]
At the base of the NEXT on Lex Apartments stands Love You Latte, the Glendale coffee shop that’s frankly more than a cafe. Its physical position as a support for a residential building draws immediate parallels to its place in Glendale’s community. This full-service, family-owned establishment opened its doors during the early days of pandemic. […]
