Moving to L.A.: January 2012
http://lanewbie.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Friday, January 20, 2012. Yesterday, we went to see The Artist. At the Vista Theatre. What a wonderful theater. Only one screen, beautifully restored, the Egyptian motif a time capsule back into pure Hollywood whimsy. I can't think of a more perfect theater to see The Artist. A modern silent film about Hollywood in the 20s and 30s. (Great, fun film, BTW.). At one point, it was a porn house! Los Angeles, CA 90027. Links to this post.

Moving to L.A.: April 2011

Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Saturday, April 23, 2011. My LA discovery of the year is Chong's Grocery. A tiny little storefront in Koreatown, Chong's makes its own sesame oil! I had no idea fresh sesame oil could taste so alive. No hint of rancidity at all. Chong's sells both light and dark oil in a variety of bottle sizes. I got the smallest, a 16 ounce bottle for $10, which is a bargain. They also have toasted sesame seeds, barley, soy beans, etc. Xiang Wei Lou -...

Moving to L.A.: December 2011

Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Thursday, December 1, 2011. They're calling it Windpocalypse. And it was pretty bad. This poor ancient tree was one of the victims. It lived just a couple of blocks from where I live, and yet, I'd never really noticed it before. How could I not notice such a massive tree? Sadly, there's a BMW underneath there somewhere. The tree fell right over the garage. I don't think anyone was hurt. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Moving to L.A.: May 2012

Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Friday, May 25, 2012. We usually avoid Hawaii Supermarket in San Gabriel because the crazy busy parking lot is hell. But on one recent Saturday, we decided to brave the insanity so we could visit Alex Goh's dragon whiskers candy cart. That's one of the nice things about Hawaii Supermarket, the small line of street-food vendors outside the entrance. They make the food right there so the confections are super fresh. 120 E Valley Blvd.

Moving to L.A.: Pasadena Cheeseburger Week
http://lanewbie.blogspot.com/2012/01/pasadena-cheeseburger-week.html
Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Friday, January 13, 2012. Pasadena is celebrating the cheeseburger next week. Well, apparently the cheeseburger was born in Pasadena, way back in 1920 something. Sadly, it's nothing more than a very noncreative way to promote Pasadena businesses. I mean, there aren't even any contests and just a handful of discounts. But I suppose it's not a bad excuse to eat more cheeseburger. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Moving to L.A.: March 2011

Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Thursday, March 24, 2011. This is one of our favorite plants in LA. It's called a bottlebrush plant, but we like to call it the toilet brush plant! The official name is Callistemon. And it's really a native of Australia. That's what's really wonderful about SoCal—it's just one big botanical garden. Just wish the plants had labels! Links to this post. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Links to this post. Monday, March 14, 2011. But was it a tour?

Moving to L.A.: October 2011

Moving to L.A. A Newbie's affectionate observations about LaLa Land. Sunday, October 30, 2011. I love that SoCal still has restaurants like Moffett's. Opened in 1975, it's a time capsule back into another era. One that appreciated food like chicken pot pie. That's what Moffett's specializes in, pies from chicken to fruit. Of course they have other things like hamburgers and sandwiches, but just stick to the pies, which are single-portions of granny's-love-goodness. Arcadia too far away? 1409 S Baldwin Ave.
