Unusual homes, found no where else on earth, are one of the many reasons I am working on an architectural tour featuring unique residential and commercial structures in Laguna Beach. The Witches House was built from 1924 to 1929 by Vernon Barker. This house has many odd angles and irregular shingles with steep gables as high as 60 feet tall. Later, Mr. Barker was the chief architect for the UCLA Medical Center. Stay tuned for my architectural tour coming soon!

Recently I received a message from my good friend and artist, Jim Marshall. He asked if I could help him sell a few of his pieces. I have always been in love with his "Giant Green Iguana", so now I want to find him a good home. He has been temporarily hanging out at a local gallery here in Laguna Beach for the last year and is now ready for a permanent home.
Laguna Beach has seven miles of picturesque Pacific coastline. While you are here, don't forget to sign up for one of my walking tours!
Fun Fact Friday - Did you know Eiler Larsen, our famous greeter, has his own street in Laguna Beach? Besides his street, we have two statues of him in town and his footprints in concrete. You can see all this on my HIP District tour.
Love seeing the Garibaldi fish in Francesca Zobeck's "Water Wall" as I walk to the beach at Anita Street. We stroll by this abstract representation of the ocean and its marine wildlife during the HIP District Tour.
Time for an update on our lifeguard headquarters project. It is moving along and still scheduled for a December finish date. I can't wait for the construction to be finished so we can have our Main Beach back.
Just about every day I see Gisberto Bertucci at Main Beach. He is a homeless artist who draws people's portraits on Starbucks coffee lids. I hear the Starbucks in Newport Beach hangs his work on their walls. When you see Gisberto in Laguna Beach, tell him "Ciao"!
