Gillian Lange draws the winning ticket for the Gift Basket
Gillian Lange draws the winning ticket for the Gift Basket. As you know the Lange Foundation is having the Annual Estate Sale to get Funds to help the animals. As this is taking place I thought it would be good time to tell everyone a little about The Lange Foundation. The Lange Foundation was founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the City of Los Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award in recognition of her work on behalf of abandoned and neglected animals since 1974. To date, she has helped rescue and place over 20,000 cats and dogs that would have otherwise been destroyed in shelter. Last weekend there was a Raffle for a Gift Basket which included lots of goodies, gift certificates to See’s Candy, Amazon, and a Kindle just to mention a few of the items in it, I could go on and on. Instead check out the pictures as Gillian draws the winning ticket and the Basket!

Did you know you might lose your Internet Monday July 9th, 2012? I was watching the news last night, an occurrence that is becoming rare since I do not like to be bombarded with bad news. Well long and behold I have my attention the News Caster states that the Internet on my computer might be shut down. Armed with this information I went and searched and discovered that tens of thousands of Americans may still lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check of their computers for the DNSChanger malware that could have taken over their machines more than a year ago. Needless to say I went on the FBI’s website and checked my IP Address with their data base. I would advise you do the same, to make sure. According to the FBI despite repeated alerts the number of computers that are infected is more than 277,000 worldwide. FYI this is a decrease from about 360,000 in April. The FBI believes that there are about 64,000 computers still affected. Here is the result of my test. Hope you will have the same result. http://www.fbi.gov/ Once you are on the website here is the link to test you computer https://forms.fbi.gov/check-to-see-if-your-computer-is-using-rogue-DNS If all goes well this is what a good report should look like: 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, Playa Vista, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

read moreThe Halibut Corner in Redondo Beach, CA one of the best kept secrets!
The Halibut Corner in Redondo Beach, CA one of the best kept secrets! The Halibut Corner is about 10 ft proximity to the harbor so my take is, you cannot order a meal that does not have fresh fish or shell fish. The Grilled Halibut with Lemon Caper burr Blanc is easily one of the best fish dinners around. It comes with a choice of rice or potatoes and vegetables. The Halibut is grilled to perfection! My personal favorites are the appetizers, ceviche, oysters, crab cakes, and Vietnamese style Spring Rolls. I generally go to King Harbor, Redondo Beach to buy fresh seafood, shell fish, bouillabaisse ingredients, but one day I was with Diane and we stumbled into this fantastic restaurant. The Chef is classically trained and used to work at the Bel Air Hotel. Then the Bel Air Hotel decided to do a two year renovation…the rest is history. Anthony Pham became the Chef and Owner of the Halibut Corner. Look for this restaurant it is well worth fighting the tourists to eat at this great seafood restaurant. By the way the prices are very reasonable. Generally everything is under $20 dollars including good wines by the bottle. Deep down I do not want to blog about this great restaurant, because I want to keep it a secret selfishly… I am sure next time I will have to have reservations. So if you are in Redondo Beach or near and you want a great seafood meal Halibut Corner is the place: 160 N international Boardwalk, Redondo Beach, California 90277 1 (310) 937-7044 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, Playa Vista, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

The Fourth of July in Marina Del Rey, CA will be celebrated with Fireworks again. After the cancellation of the Fireworks last year due to budget constraints, local businesses have pooled their resources and brought back this wonderful holiday tradition. The fireworks display this year will be by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale. They are the best in my opinion. The family business has arranged many a national Celebrations including the 200 year celebration in New York City a while back. They are so good at choreographing the fireworks to patriotic music. The music will be broadcasted in sync with the display over Radio FM KXLU 88.9. If you watch it at Burton Chace Park the music will be relayed over loudspeaker. Those of you who are not bring a portable radio or maybe you can find it on your smart phone. The show is expected to start around 9pm and expected to last for approximately 20 minutes.

8229 Gould Ave, Los Angeles, CA vacant land Status Change: Pending! Long after three different Agents’ attempt at trying to sell this lot, after a month of aggressive marketing we are in Escrow and the buyer has removed all his contingencies. There were numerous challenges we faced during escrow, including discovery of land being Red Tagged by the city from the Gould side of the street. The potential to build will be more expensive and not as panoramic of a view from the Kirkwood side of the land. So couple of renegotiations later looks like we will be closing soon! So if you have a challenging vacant lot and you have not been able to sell in the Hollywood Hills or vicinity. Please reach out directly for a free market evaluation!
