The Informers - It’s like, totally gnarly

April 25, 2009 – 12:22 pm

Obviously my blog is focused on real estate, but I also like to feature items that are quintessential LA or will be of interest to my rich kids who read daily.

Neighborhood Snapshot - The Carthays (South, Square, and Circle)

April 13, 2009 – 11:53 am

When I mention Carthay to my friends, their first response is, “Where?”. Carthay is a beautiful neighborhood consisting of architecturally historic duplexes and homes, just outside of Beverly Hills between La Cienega and Fairfax lying south of Olympic but north of Pico.
