Quite possibly the nicest grocery store I have ever been in, and I work for Safeway, one of the leading chain stores for general appearance and customer service. But allow me to clarify myself; when I say nicest I mean of course its appearance. The shelves are always faced with the labels of products turned out and all items flush with the edge of the shelf. However their customer service is lacking. I was not once greeted with so much as a polite hello. The help was as snobbish as the upclass clientele.

Please do not misunderstand me when I say that to a native of LA a place like this may be nothing special, especially when one has been exposed to these sorts of places on a regular basis, but to an individual from New Mexico; a state with a population less than the San Fernando Valley, The Grove is what I call a shoppers paradise. But the aspect I enjoyed the most was the Farmers Market, however, the CheeseCake Factory was cool also. Would you believe that while there for lunch I didn't have a single slice of cheesecake for dessert. I hope someday to live in LA; anywhere on the west coast, really. When I do move to LA it won't be as an actor working as a struggling waiter because frankly I suck as an actor and have no natural sense of timing. See you at the beach!!!

If you get a PO Box here, you are bound to get other people's mail in your box...kind of makes you wonder how much of YOUR mail they misplace, huh?

Across the street from big bad HU's!!!!!!!!

Casa del Mexicano was once used as the site for the yearly Farce of July (alternative "Independence Day") celebration.

All In-N-Outs are good, but this one is great!

Has a great chili sauce that goes with their lunch special!

The Tongva Indians of Southern California consider University H.S. as a sacred site because of its natural springs and they have a ceremony at the school every year.

The UCLA Film and TV Archive has multiple screenings of films from around the world in the Melnitz theater.

A great place to people-watch. My grandmother used to drop my sister and I off here when we were kids and she had to see her doctor a block or two away. One afternoon we saw a guy wearing too-snug bike shorts with "Versace" written in huge block letters across the posterior, and a girl we recognized from a Honeycomb cereal commercial was eating lunch with her mom (or maybe her agent) at the food court. What a hoot.

I got trashed and passed out at a table there once. Fun times.

Yes, toots. That's what the man said.

Best martini in a plastic cup I ever had. Could do without the stage barricades, though - and the slaggy chick who, while I was in the ladies' room, took my coveted spot directly in front of stage center that I had waited in line for four hours to get. Snatch.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers Elvis Bob. That was a riot!

Who on goddess' green earth cares? Let's put a little box around your pad and see how you like it.
