The Adamson House from “You”
‘ The second season of You had me feeling like an inadequate Angelino! (Yes, even though I now live in Palm Springs, I still consider myself an L.A. denizen.) In episode 6, “Farewell, My Bunny,” Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and her friends teach Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) about Los Angeles’ “seven totems,” which, once seen,…
