My favorite Barista is Intelligentsia on the Trendy Abbot Kinney Blvd. In October of 2010 I have written a Blog post about this wonderful Coffee Destination Place. It is not just a coffee shop http://actvra.in/ML5 it is a place to see and be seen. Quite frankly I just go for the great coffee. I have consistently bought the eight ounce Latte. Diane has had their cappuccino and she has raved about it. I was on the phone with her today and mentioned I am going for a cup of coffee, she immediately asked are you going to Abbott Kinney Blvd and I answered in the affirmative: yes I am going to Intelligentsia. There are two Baristas who make this. Step one: the coffee is made and then Step two: followed by the whipped cream. The second person is the Artist. He receives the coffee and the cream and in one pouring motion creates the Latte with an Artwork. The designs vary seasonally or whatever mood the Artist is in. I have had Christmas Trees to you name it. So if you are in Los Angeles close to Venice, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica or just anywhere on the west side of Los Angeles and you are in the mood for a great cup of Java Intelligentsia is the place to go. As far as I am concerned even a ten mile detour is worth the trip. Be prepared that parking will be a challenge and there will be a line to get this great coffee. The best part is, you get a wonderful cup of coffee, no comparison to the National Brand Name Chain. It is so good I cannot go to the other coffee places I am so spoiled by the wonderful flavor. The best part is now they are in more places than when I blogged about them in October of 2010 check it out (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/locations ) Latest rumor I heard is that they will be opening a Coffee Bar in San Francisco next. How exiting is that for the residents of San Francisco. When I buy coffee which is not poured, then it is Coffee Beans, I guess it is time for me to buy their beans so I could have it every morningJ Please check out what others think of this coffee place on yelp or check another blogger’s review here http://dailyshotofcoffee.com/from-just-average-to-top-notch-intelligentsia-coffee-review-update/ If you are a consumer who is considering buying or selling a home, investment real estate, vacation homes, or beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

The Holiday Boat Parade in Marina Del Rey, CA 2012 in Marina Del Rey, CA 2012 celebrates it’s 50th Anniversary! The last time I wrote a Blog Post about the Holiday Boat Parade was in October 2010 (http://actvra.in/MJ8), ironically I was looking forward to seeing it that year. Then a personal tragedy happened and I missed the parade. Then I had some business conflict in 2011 and I missed it again. This year I did not even focus on it, since Diane was having family issues. So as I was pulling into our complex I was surprised to see all the additional Security? I had to ask as I was wondering what was going on? I was informed that today is the Boat Parade. Then it hit me that this was the 50th Anniversary of the Marina Del Rey Boat Parade! Armed with my trusty Blackberry and a large glass of red wine, I headed to the channel. Same place where I was last nightJ. The boats started coming around 5:30pm and at 6:00 there were fireworks as well and after about 6:30pm as some of the boats came around the second time I felt it was time to walk home, feed our Kitties and myself and watch a repeat of the LA Clippers & Phoenix Sun game and blog about the great Boat Parade I just saw! So I only picked a few of the pictures to share. One of my favorite was Santa’s Sleigh (a larger boat) and his Reindeer (small canoes connected with a line just as Santa’s Reindeer. I am not sure it the pictures will justice to it but here you go: I checked and in 2010 the theme of the Boat Parade was a Rock & Roll Christmas check it out ( http://www.mdrboatparade.org/index.html ) Should be in the history of the Boat Parade Section. This year’s Theme was: Fifty Years a Solid Gold Christmas ( http://www.mdrboatparade.org/index.html ) If you are a consumer who is considering buying or selling a home, investment real estate, vacation homes, or beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

Holiday Lights in Marina Del Rey, CA. 90292 Enjoy and pass it around! I find the holidays are very enjoyable to most people, because a great many home owners, management companies and tenants decorate their homes and their properties; hence it is fun to drive by or walk by and enjoy their creative and festive spirit. No matter what your troubles are, as you walk by a festive home with lots of lights for a moment you forget your troubles and a smile comes on your face. Yeah I find it sweet that a simple gift from a stranger can bring joy to so many. So with that said I was out for a stroll to forget my troubles. As I walked by the Marina Del Rey Channel, I had to take a few pictures and share it with all who appreciate holiday lights.

10453 Sandal Lane Bel Air, CA 90077 Vacant Lot. SOLD!!!! Some transactions are easier than others; some have what I call a Roller Coaster Ride feel to it. The Great news is this vacant lot SOLD! (Dealing with Investors has its own challengesJ) We had all cash 30 day Escrow, which meandered into a 45 day cancellation the day before we were to close, but in the mean time there was a 15 day all cash Back- UP- Offer. As soon as we notified the Back-up-offer we received a call from the first buyer that his group still wanted to buy it. (Sorry too late they missed out) Well not so fast, the second group did not perform and they did not deposit the Earnest Money Deposit into Escrow. In the mean time another group of investors were hovering around to see how the first two will work out and they were prepared to step in and buy the property. At the same time one of the neighbors showed interest as well. One phone call and a few emails negotiating with the original group and two days later we closed! Congratulations to the Seller and the Developers who will build a fantastic home inside the world famous East Gate of Bel Air. The place, where the who is who of the entertainment and some of the political community, has lived there: Frank Sinatra, President Ronald Reagan, and Elizabeth Taylor to name a few who resided inside Bel Air Proper!

read moreThe Newspaper business is fading? Read and then tell me will it stay?
The Newspaper business is fading? Read this and then tell me if it is fading or here to stayJ? I had a friend who sent me this great assessment of the Newspapers around the country! I have read SEVEN of the twelve she mentioned: 1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country. 2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. 3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles. 4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country, but don’t really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts. 5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn’t mind running the country, if they could find the time — and if they didn’t have to leave Southern California to do it. 6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much. 7. The New York Post is read by people who don’t care who are running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated. 8. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores. 9. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is read by people who only want to know the score of the Cardinal’s game. They drink Budweiser, Budweiser, more Budweiser and wait a minute — what was the question? 10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren’t sure if there is a country or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist homosexual dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided of course, that they are not Republicans. 11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store. 12. The Seattle Times is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.

read moreHave you seen the Montage Residences in Beveerly Hills,CA?
Have you seen the Montage Residences in Beverly Hills, CA? Take a second look! In April 2010 I have written a blog post about the Montage Residences in Beverly Hills http://actvra.in/Mry there were about 19 units still available, so here I am in December 2012 writing another blog post about the Montage Residences in Beverly Hills, CA. There are only two Residences left for you to purchase. Many things have happened since my last blog post. The Montage went from being an in house listing organization to out sourcing it to one of the top five International Real Estate Brokerages. Ironically the developer’s goal was to market the international community, such as Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Hence an aggressive marketing & research has resulted with a failure in seeing who their target market was. The target market turned out was in the back yard. Upscale home owners in Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Malibu decided they did not want the head ache of home ownership but wanted 100% papering. They in turn ended up buying in the Montage. The other buyers were from the East Coast who wanted a foothold in Beverly Hills, CA. They did not want to buy a house, since they only spend limited time in the Greater Los Angeles. Hence they were the perfect buyers of the Montage Residences. Now with that said if you have Luxury Buyers who would like to have a foothold in Southern California, specifically in Beverly Hills please reach out to me in helping them to make the Montage their home! There is one available at $13, 200, 000.00 and one at $ 7.500, 000.00. So what do you get for this? Perhaps the best attribute of living in the Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond and DEED Gold certified hotel is the unparalleled access to impeccable served that has been the hallmark of the Montage. If you would like more details about what they have to offer please reach out to me directly!

Angel City Chorale: Holiday Concert 2012 The Angel City Chorale’s Motto is: Building a Community one song at a Time. This past year they have toured South Africa in August 2011, and February 2012 they joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic on stage at the Shrine Auditorium in a performance of Gustave Mahler’ Symphony No 8 and I could go on and on. We were invited by one of Diane’s coworkers. I was looking forward to a trip out of the ordinary, not reallyJ it was a rainy night and I had to drive to the Wilshire United Methodist Church through a drizzly, dark night. Once we got there I found out that just this December was their 20th year and their sixteenth anniversary of their flagship program, “The Holiday Tour of Hope” The have visited over 30 organizations in Los Angeles including soup kitchens, havens for the homeless, nursing homes, hospitals, Juvenile Hall and sober living and domestic violence support facilities. Not only do they provide a holiday concert repertoire but they give personal items, supplies and toys to the various organizations. What a fantastic Group of Musicians! After a wonderful two hours of Music including a few Sing Along-s, we were invited next door to cheese, crackers, fresh vegetables and deserts that were truly unexpected! As far as I am concerned Angel City Chorale just acquired two new fans and supporters of the Chorale and their Cause! I plan on getting their CD’s and provide support to them in the coming years! www.angelcitychorale.org Sue Fink Conductor and creator of this great Chorale!
