Ugo Café from “The Morning Show”
‘ The Season 1 finale of The Morning Show might have been one of the finest hours of television ever created!

Lacy Park from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ Despite having lived in the San Gabriel Valley for 15 years, I somehow never visited Lacy Park in San Marino. I had heard of it, sure (the kids I used to babysit would watch fireworks there every Fourth of July), and knew it was a popular recreation spot, but was never exactly certain of…
