    ‘ I never thought I’d say I’m in love with a gate, but here we are.  Back in March 2016, my Los Angeles magazine editor assigned me a piece chronicling the locations from the then-new Netflix series Flaked.  I got to work researching right away and one spot immediately stood out among the rest –…

    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…
