    The “Twins” Mansion

    ‘ Another day, another Twins  location.  🙂  Unbelievably, before writing my post about the Twins house yesterday, I had yet to actually see the movie. For some reason, even though we own a copy of it on DVD, I had never sat down to watch it.  Until yesterday, that is.  But, as often happens to me when watching a movie for the…

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…
