I grew up a few blocks from the "New Bev", the oldest revival house in Los Angeles. I was there every week in High School and watched everything from Deep End to Wings of Desire. It's no wonder I departed from mainstream cinema, early on. One night towards the end of High School, I went to see a film and wound up talking to this loud and wacky man who told me he had a film coming out called "Reservoir Dogs". Now he now is part owner. These days I go to the New Beverly for their Midnight movies and even had the chance to screen my own film there which was one of the greatest feelings in the world.

A gem video rental store in South Pasadena.

It’s so unassuming from the street, but the build out and design are gorgeous. But the food is 💪🏽

The best ramen I had in LA, maybe anywhere. Even my food-critical son loved it.

Nice park for walking around or picnicking.
