Do you know who George Tirebiter was? A bit of Los Angeles & USC HistoryJ
 
If you have been to USC‘s Downtown Campus (University of Southern California) the odds are you have seen a Statue of George Tirebiter! George Tirebiter wondered into the USC Downtown Los Angeles Campus around the late 1940’s  and could be see all the way to the early 1950’s and the rest is historyJ well not quite. There were different versions of the history some say that students rescued him off the street. Either way he was a shaggy, dirty, but lovable muttJ.

Father’s Day is this Sunday: How about going to Dodger Stadium?

 
Father’s Day is this Sunday: How about going to Dodger Stadium as a pre-father’s day? Well Diane’s father has not been to a Dodger/Braves game since 1954. In those days they called them The Boston Braves and the Brooklyn DodgersJ

The two of us went to the Game:  me and Diane’s father. The game was fun and so close that we ended up having extra innings. Since he is a Braves Fan it was extra special. The only bad part for him was that the Dodgers won … (12 comments)

Did you know Conundrum White Wine is a product of Camus Wines?

 
As most of you know I love to drink good wines and eat good food. I prefer Red wines over White wines, nevertheless there are a few exceptions. Conundrum White is one of them. It is a blend of five different white wines. When you say complex wine generally Red is what comes to my mind, in this case I can safely say that this White Wine Blend is Complex. If you are a Red wine lover but are willing to venture out of your comfort zone … (12 comments)

As Interest rates are creeping up: Time to check  out your Credit Score!
 As interest rates are slowly creeping up I would like to caution those of you who are planning to purchase a property in the near term with a mortgage vs. all cash it is time to check your Credit Scores.   

According to the Consumer Financial Credit Bureau (CFCB) Credit Scores sold to consumers are not the same as the ones lenders use. Hence there is a difference between the scores which in turn could be the difference between a lender approving or rejecting an applicant for a … (11 comments)

What do you get for $125,000,000 in the Greater Los Angeles Area?
 
I have received a number of inquiries from various parts of the country as well as the world asking me. So what do you get for a $125,000,000.00?

How is the Bel Air, CA Luxury Home Market? The short answer is it is very active!
As most of my readers know I have written how the Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hills Post Office and the Malibu Luxury market is doing. Hence I thought I do an analysis of the Bel Air Luxury home market as well.
As I have written previously,  there were many famous residents of Bel Air, without too much name dropping, Frank Sinatra, Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor to name a few. So with that said you will get an idea of the desirability and price factors.

525 S Ardmore Unit #144 in Los Angeles, CA is in Escrow!
I must tell you, I was truly amazed what a huge demand there is for small Condominiums near an area of Los Angeles that is considered Korea Town or Korea Town Adjacent.  The true reason it is hard to tell is it adjacent or in Korea Town,  because the area has been widening over the years and the borders have changed.

 
I took the listing with what I considered a bit ambitious on the price, but understanding that it is an improving market was worth the try. … (6 comments)
