Ten Good Things
My curated newsletter — ten things worth knowing about Westside real estate, canyon life, and the wider world, sent to friends and neighbors each month.
Hi friends and neighbors —
Hoping all are healthy and well. Here's one more cast of the net into the electronic ether, to see what positivity the digital tide has brought. Ten good things, in no particular order.
1
A few of my favorite current listings — one in the high'ish range, one in the low'ish. Two ends of the Westside spectrum, both worth a look. Real Estate
2
A costume designer breaking down the looks, stitch by stitch — the kind of craft deep-dive that changes how you watch the screen. Culture
3
A treasury of introductions — a small, generous archive of how things and people get introduced to the world.
4
Lil Yachty on SNL. Worth five minutes of your day.
5
The best happy hours on the Westside — wait, what? A few favorites worth knowing for that golden hour between work and dinner.
6
Charles Phoenix, the retro king, does it all — even the slideshows. A true Los Angeles original. Culture
7
I somehow missed this when it came out in 2001. Catching up now, and glad I did.
8
Easily one of the most interesting museums I've ever been to. Put it on the list.
9
The secret history of rock's wildest stage prop. A rabbit hole worth falling into.
10
There is only one Joe Frank. If you know, you know — and if you don't, you're in for something.
