    The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K.

    Du-par’s Restaurant and Bakery from “Christmas with the Kranks”

    ‘ I don’t know what it is about Christmas movies, but I cannot watch them without crying.  Even the not-so-great ones make me bawl.  Case in point – the 2004 comedy Christmas with the Kranks.  While admittedly not one of the best Yuletide films, the Grim Cheaper and I watch it each year and I…
