Do you know the difference between Dampers and Flues?
I have blogged about Fireplace restrictions in Los Angeles County previously. A fireplace in a home is now an endangered item under current code. Nevertheless if you have a home that was built before the Fireplace restriction in Los Angeles County, you should be happy. After you celebrated your good luck that you can still have an old fashioned wood burning fireplace in your home there are a few things you should know.

Archangel by Robert Harris… If you have never read any books by Robert Harris let me tell you something: You are missing out on one of the best Historical Novelists of our time. He writes as if it really happened that way. Harris’s historical research is obvious, the details are amazing. I have lived until the age of 11 in Communist Hungry and my father told stories which coincided with events that happened in this book. Some of the details he included, you would not know by reading or studying World History. After reading this novel, you will doubt the historical … (19 comments)

Patrick’s Roadhouse a PCH Institution ( a Restaurant)
Since St Patrick’s Day is coming up in a few days.  I thought I would showcase an institution on PCH. Most people think this Green Building is either in Pacific Palisades others think it is in Santa Monica, well, those who thought it is in Santa Monica CA are correct. Of course on the other side (north side) it is Pacific Palisades. Then again other people wonder what this Goudy Green Place is. Is it a Tourist Trap or is it a local good hang out.

 Well if you want to eat … (15 comments)

Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium Market Report for February 2012
Recent data suggest that the worst may be over and that the housing sector has begun to stabilize. This was on MSN.com a widely read portal on the internet.
"While we still have a long way to go back to normal, the latest numbers are one more indication that housing is slowly turning the corner," Bob Nielsen, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders, said recently. David Crowe, the association's chief economist, added, "We anticipate continued, slow improvement in housing starts and sales through 2012."

WOOFSTOCK  90210 is around the corner, on Sunday March 11th at Roxbury Park, Beverly Hills, CA. This is how I know that Spring is here. When the Pets 90210 Flyer comes around, I know it is time to plan for a great and hopefully successful Sunday for the Critters.

Planned Power Outage in parts of Marina Del Rey, CA
Planned power outages give the opportunity to complete ongoing maintenance and upgrade the grid with newer materials and technologies. It is part of Southern California Edison’s long-term plan to help revitalize Southern California’s power grid. This is all good for the long term benefit of better service for the increasing demand that the growing Marina Del Rey population needs.
What does that mean in the short term for us consumers of electricity in the Marina? For me specifically since I work out of the House mostly, either a relaxing day … (12 comments)

Bringing back the Fourth of July Fireworks in Marina Del Rey, CA.
As most of you know, last year we did not have Fireworks in Marina Del Rey. The culprit was the County’s Budget Crisis. There is a solution, just like the New Years Fireworks were sponsored by local business people, the Fireworks Show could be done for the Fourth of July as well.

The cost of the show is about $115,000.00 and the Community & Marketing Services Division of Beaches and Harbors is handling this great cause of bringing back the Fireworks for the Fourth of July. There are … (13 comments)

Playa Vista Residents vs. the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services
Home Owners of the Planned Urban Development are about the battle the City of Los Angeles with good reason. The Parking Enforcement has been busy coming around giving Tickets to vehicles parked in this great self contained community. If you are not a resident you would say “so what is the big deal”? Well they are ticketing the vehicles on Street Cleaning Days. Again you might say “…well it is street cleaning day and the vehicle owners should know better than to park….”

The Beverly Hills City Sign (Logo) photographed on a Cold Winter Afternoon! If anyone ever did studies of which City Sign is the most photographed, they probably would discover that it is the Beverly Hills sign. I have lived in quite a few large cities such as Boston, MA and I have never see so many tourist take pictures of the City Sign as they do of the Beverly Hills Sign.
There are visitors who fall in love with Beverly Hills and soon after their first visit, they come … (11 comments)

Century City- Westwood Condominium Market Report for January 2012
Century City-Westwood Condominium Market Report for January 2012 while a bit late for me, never the less it is published before the main stream media’s data comes out. While the short term economic picture may be mired with uncertainty many indicators point to the financial strength of most companies, hence that will translate to consumer confidence and ultimately will reduce the high unemployment figures. That of course will help the Real Estate Activities. That in turn will help the economy.

So with that said let me recap December 2011’s numbers as … (8 comments)

One Phone Call could save the Life of a California Shelter Animal! Make the Call!
Did you know that right now under the Hayden’s Law, animals in shelters must be kept alive for reclamation or adoption for at least 4-6 days after they have been found? This is not a long time for the animals. Many people think that “Shelter” is what it sounds like the reality California is NOT a “No-Kill Shelter State”. IF the animals are not reclaimed by their owners or are not rescued by an “Animal Rescue Organization” or someone who wants to adopt a pet and … (20 comments)

Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy a must read for Spy Thriller Fans!
As a book collector, I have to admit that there are many books we own, but that does not mean I read all of them. Tom Clancy happens to be one of those writers for me, who falls into the category of “one of these days I have to read it”.  In all fairness, I have seen every movie that was converted from the written word to the big screen. You might be wondering then why not read him? Part of it goes back to many years ago I … (14 comments)

There are many features that are important. I have found that Tantalizing Views are very high on the list to Single or Double Income no kids families. Now the Best Views are rated of having the Post Card Views of down Town Los Angeles and Century City Skyline. The more stunning the views the more it is a high priority to potential buyers. This is then followed by the simple Postcard view of Downtown. This is followed by views of the Century City Skyline. … (15 comments)
