Trapped in time?

A 1958 MCM in Brentwood on 780 Teakwood Road that has all it's original furniture.  If Curbed LA says it's trapped in time, then why do I want the furniture?  Does that make me trapped in time?!

Savvy Travelin' Palm Springs Style

Palm Springs vacationing in style - thanks to my good friend and savvy traveler, Carol L.

Here are Carol's tips and notes on where to stay and where to eat Desert style.  Now you're in the know, you'll have to go!

To Stay:

The Willows Palm Springs Hotel    ( SUPPOSED TO BE VERY NICE )

The Horizon Hotel  (I've stayed there and it's very good, they bring breakfast to your room)

The Movie Colony Hotel    ( REALLY NICE ) 

 The Colony Palms Hotel  ( Where Purple Palm is ) 

Korakia Pensione   ( Great ) 

Viceroy Palm Springs

Hotel Zoso  ( KIND OF BIG - GOOD LOCATION - CENTRAL - LOTS OF CONVENIENCES ) 

Riviera   ( has good rates - rooms are supposed to be big and nice

7 Springs    (  7 Spings more basic ) 

The Pool House ( new and looks cute ) 

To Dine:

Trio

I have not been but looked in and it is very nice 

Purple Palms

in the Colony Palms Hotel 

I have been very nice - great ambience and good food - Meditterranean 

Copley's

I have not been but heard it is very nice

Johannes - everyone loves - have not been - a lot of people's  favorite

Le Vallauris - Classic

LG's Prime Steakhouse - If you do want a steak house - I went to this one but the Palm Desert location and it was serious!

Citron at the Viceroy  - So good! 

And finally I LOVE Mr. Parker's at the Parker Palm Springs

Cheeky's for brunch, lunch or breakfast - yum!

Thank you Carol for letting me co-opt your wonderful suggestions!

Trash report: Southern California's effort to clean up the confusion

Great LA Times article by Mary McVean about trash and recycling in LA.   Trying to help clear up the confusion about what you can and can't recycle, compost, trash etc.  For the greenies, the wanna-be greenies, and all the rest.

The article by Susan Carpenter about her attempt to cut down on her trash production and efforts to learn what can be recycled is excellent too.  We cut our trash production by half or more just be installing a compost bin.  Although I must admit I didn't know that those disposable plates, forks, spoons etc that say they are compostable don't break down in a home compost bin. 

Thanks LA Times for helping get the information out to us!
