Treasure I found
So here's something interesting... I was closing up an estate... and discovered a house full of maps. Really. FULL. I called the Los Angeles library and out they came, and now have catalogued the complete John Feathers' Map Collection. And now, there's a video... how cool is that?!

From: Beverly Hills, CA Sunny and cool (64° F) The real estate market was quiet and peaceful this past weekend, mostly attributable to the Easter holiday.

Sunny and mild (76° F) The Academy Awards were held in Hollywood Sunday night. Streets in the area did not reopen until yesterday. That means that some roadways were closed for up to nine days, for a three hour event. I was thinking about it and that seems like an awful long time for street closures. It certainly can affect the businesses in the area. Meanwhile, there are a number of new and interesting listings on the market this week. Not only in this area, but in the
