Thanks, yeah, it brings me joy, when the day aligns and I’m able to visit many fun things all at once.

You’re welcome, Ruth. There are a few enclaves of old Victorian architecture houses here in town that I already knew about. What was fun was just randomly stumbling on this group while driving elsewhere, learning something new.

Thanks, Jenn! Yep, I love Hermon and El Sereno and all that area too. Maybe I’ll write about that another time. What’s a shame is that sooooo many of the places I mentioned in the article used to have not-so-pleasant memories attached to them due to monster catering events in the past – the Music Center, The Shrine, Descanso Gardens, the museums. It’s nice to finally be able to go to these things as a guest now and not have PTSD from past catering events. Though I don’t think I’ll ever be able to set foot in the Paladium again. 🙂

What a treat! Thank you. I too am a huge fan of all the different places to discover in our back yards. Hiding in plain site indeed.
