Dot Your i's and Cross Your t's: Mercury is in Retrograde! - 04/30/10 11:45 AM
Are your deals falling out of escrow? Did you overlook that one important clause in the contract that's now landed you in hot water? Is your computer, website, Twitter, Facebook, acting ornery? Listen up! Mercury Retrograde is no joke, especially when it comes to making commitments, starting new endeavors, and signing contracts. You may also expect that anything related to communication and technology may be riddled with snafus and misunderstanding. The planet Mercury rules communication, travel, contracts, etc. It goes in a retrograde motion -- or motion that makes it appear to be going backwards in the night sky -- three … (0 comments)

Urban LA: Flippin' Out in South Central - 04/27/10 11:21 AM

A recent L.A. times article pretty much sums it up: Real Estate today is not for the faint of heart. Nor has it ever been, for that matter. It's hard to believe that, just a few short years ago, droves of aspiring real estate moguls mistook once-in-a-blue-moon timing and market conditions as evidence of their investment saavy and businees acumen. One needed only to sign on the dotted line to practically guarantee prosperity and success in a market that at its peak gave a twenty percent return on investment in a year. Those were the days...

Urban Beat: Crazy for Coachella in LA - 04/19/10 04:30 PM
Aah, Coachella. Word has it, the original promoters were thinking of nixing the popular music fest this year due to the economy. They thought twice about it, however, after realizing that the masses seem to be drowning their recessionary woes in a good dose of amp-charged, sweat inducing, music celebration! Live performance is where it's at.

According to the L.A. times, 'Live music is thriving, even as other parts of the music industry are faltering. Recorded music continued its downward spiral, with U.S. album sales falling 8% in the first three months of the … (0 comments)

Urban Wellness: You're Sweet Enough Just the Way You Are - 04/19/10 04:08 PM
I have just recently lectured several friends and clients about the virtues of moving towards a more natural, unprocessed diet.
Educating oneself on Best Health Practices can really be a full time job and there is an astounding amount of confusion and deception regarding the quality of our foods. Moreover, the majority of us have a serious 'disconnect' about the direct correlation between what we put in our bodies and how we feel, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Here's what I know... Artificial Sweeteners are just bad for you. Stop consuming them. They cause all kinds of adverse effects in the body … (2 comments)

LA Urban Beat - 04/16/10 05:10 PM
In case you have all forgotten in between episodes of Dancing with the Stars, Glee, and LOST: the final episode, I wanted to remind you that we live in one of the most culturally diverse and active areas of the country!! Now get off the couch and go soak up some culture!!
On a whim, I bought a ticket to see Rene Fleming at the L.A. Opera a couple of months ago and though I was the only one attending under 35, it was a great performance and my youth worked to my benefit in the mad dash to the ladies … (0 comments)

Urban LA: Finally! A Bright Idea..The Hollywood Sign Hotel? - 04/16/10 02:57 PM

It seems that Danish architect, Christian Bay-Jorgenson has come up with the most sensible and utilitarian design since IKEA! Mr. Bay-Jorgenson has literally brought calm and peace to an entire city now that he has solved the dilemma of the fate of the Hollywood sign: Make it a hotel!!
Now the developers get what they want, the city gets its money, and generations of Angelonians retain an icon of their precious history.
"I'm a fan of the Hollywood Sign Hotel and the unused spaces of America," said Bay-Jorgensen. "It could be interesting to make it a center for such events … (2 comments)

Hollywood is Back! - 04/16/10 11:58 AM
I really have a special affection for Hollywood and its gung-ho enthusiasm for urban density and smart growth. There are times, epsecially in today's climate, when I am doubtful that the 'urban renaissance' will gain momentum, but then I'm reminded that Rome wasn't built in a day.
The fact is that the reinvention is happening as we speak, albeit slowly. If you don't believe me, take a quick drive through Hollywood and notice the street activity, the new restaurants, a sprinkling of new 'anchor' retail outlets, and a bunch of new residential developments. The most recent crowning jewel of Hollywood has … (2 comments)
