Page’s Bookstore in Manhattan Beach is in its third year!
Page’s Bookstore in Manhattan Beach is in its third year! Hard to believe that Page’s Bookstore only opened its doors in February of 2010. It feels like they have been here forever. Against all odds an independent bookstore opens as many were closing their doors, including the larger national chains were shrinking their stores all over the nation. We were thrilled that not too far from us another bookstore opens instead of the usual news that one closes. Needless to say we immediately became supporters. Three passionate women against all odds decide to follow their passion. Since books are our passion it was a natural fit to support them. Every opportunity we have we stop in and buy a book or two. Fuels our passion and supports their store. So if you are every in Manhattan Beach, please stop in and buy a book or at least a Card, someone in your circle will have a birthday soonJ) 904 Manhattan avenue Manhattan Beach, ca 90266 pagesabookstore.com t: 310-318-0900 f: 310-318-0944 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 Rumor Mill: an Independent Café and a Laundromat! I just want every one of my readers to know, I have been going to the Rumor Mill for their great Latte’s for many years. I met the owner she is so charming and it is a pleasure to go in to get my coffee. After all it is on my way to the office. I also noticed that there are PC’s available for customers to use at no charge. I always thought this was a very gracious offer to the clientele. Needless to say there is also WIFI for those who have their own laptops and notepads. What I loved is they always supported the arts. They would display paintings of local artists that were available for the public to buy. They also would provide photographers the same courtesy. So if you went in weekly, monthly you would be pleasantly surprised at the various artworks that would be on the walls. I always look forward to seeing the new artwork. Then one day I mentioned to Diane what a great place this is and it has a very cool concept. Laundry attached to the Café. Needless to say this was a mistake on my part. As soon as I mentioned it to Diane our Bedspread stopped going to the dry cleaners and the blankets as well. After all I am a regular there might as well do the bedding. As I thought this would not be so bad. Little did I know that our cats would decide I should go more often? (If you have cats, you know what I meant 🙂 So now with this new information, I ended up meeting the owner’s son, because he works in the afternoon. I also ended up having wonderful lunches. They are so great with gourmet healthy foods, if you have not been their place should be on your “must go destination places” great independent Café with a nice lunch menu on top. Also if you want you can even do your laundry at the same time.

The Apple Pan is a Los Angeles Landmark Burger Joint. If you can just imagine, they opened their doors to Hamburger lovers in 1947. This is a testament by itself, that here they are still packed in 2012. Many time I have the urge to go and have a juicy burger, unfortunately the lines are often out of this world. Today I lucked out, the universe was lining up in my favor. So I found a parking spot behind the establishment as someone else was pulling out. Not only is this the oldest continuing operating restaurant in Los Angeles, but the “inspiration to “The Johnny Rockets Chain” of Burger Restaurant. The founder had in public claimed that he used The Apple Pan as the model for his 1940’s theme, copying the seating, the grilling area and even the menu. If you are on the west side of Los Angeles it is well worth the wait even if the lines are long. One of their most favorite Burgers that are loved by Angelinos is the Hickory Burger and of course the other is the Steak Burger. The hamburgers are wrapped in paper and served on a cardboard plate as the French fries as well. Plan on getting messy, if you order a burger, they have a trademarked hamburger relish that is out of this world. Well check out my picture and judge for yourself! They also have great apple pies served with vanilla ice cream:)) 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.

What is in a Name? What is in a Bag? I am a firm believer that it is important to have name recognition. When you consider selling a home, a condominium or a vacant land in the Hollywood Hills, CA name recognition is important. When you see the name WWW.ENDREBARATH.COM you think SOLD! When you see DKNY you think of a sharp looking outfit. Something recognizable, whether it is a shirt, a jacket or a pair of blue jean, it is something you will be proud of and happy to wear. Now all you have to do is look on the outside of the bag and you know you got something good inside the bag. As you can see Douggy feels the same way, he wants to see what is in the bag?
