Memorial Day weekend is the long holiday that officially starts the summer celebrations. Parades, festivals, exhibits, wine tastings, and more happen throughout the Los Angeles area. However, if you are like me, you might like staying right here on the Westside. Whether you are looking for a weekend event, a fun day trip, music, food, water, or games, you can find it here. That is why I put together this quick guide of fun things to do right where we live.

Everyone loves the fresh smell of fresh bread. Luckily, the Westside is dotted with bakeries so that no matter where you happen to go, you can stop for a bagel, croissant, or whole grain boule. Three favorites happen to be in Culver City. Be sure to stop by one (or all three) the next time you’re in town.

For years, real estate experts including myself have said that single-family homes were a better investment than condos. Why? They were the preferred type of housing for most people living in the United States. Not only that, but these properties come with land, which drives the value upward. Condos, on the other hand, were small and came with lots of regulations. It seems, however, that this may be a changing trend.

If you are redesigning your interior and are in the market for something modern minimalist (or if you just love celebrity news) you have to check out John Hamm's new home, which snuggles up to a hillside in the Los Feliz area.

This is the perfect time of year to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather. Although the beach is a big part of being outside on the Westside, it certainly isn’t the only attraction. In fact, the one thing I love about the area is the number of free hiking trails. Today, I’d like to focus on the three closest to Mailbu: Escondido Falls, Solstice Canyon, and Corral Canyon.
