This kale garden was most recently a cornfield with stalks 7 feet tall. I love taking my HIP District tour guest past this area and checking out all the new veggies.

Laguna Beach has a wide variety of different and very interesting architectural styles scattered throughout this small artist colony. This Japo-Swiss Traditional structure was built in 1917. It was most recently The Cottage Restaurant which closed last year. Urth Café is rumored to be moving into this space soon.
Sad news to report...the Jack Thomas store at The Old Pottery Place is closing within days. Everything is half off. The owners needed more family time so when the kids go to college, the store will hopefully re-open.
Please help Elaine and her cat Georgie! Someone recently came and stole many of her hanging and potted plants she has had for 35 years. If you have any succulents, cacti or any others you wish to donate, please drop off at 631 Ramona St., (her house is near the Hare Krishna temple). The below picture is what it used to look like before the theft.
Laguna Beach's 9-11 Memorial, with the actual steel beams from the World Trade Center, was the site where our firefighters gathered this morning to remember those who lost their lives in that tragic event. "Semper Momento" - Always Remember.

While driving in North Laguna on Rosa Bonheur Street, did you ever wonder who she is? She is a French animalière (animal painter), realist artist, and sculptor, considered to have been the most famous female painter of the nineteenth century. Now that I know who she is, I'm wondering why Laguna Beach has a street named after her. Let me get back to you on that one.
The Gazebo in Heisler Park is available for weddings. The permit costs $255 and you get an incredible ocean view. We stroll by there on my Heisler Park/Downtown tour.
