Hello from California

[Midnight Palace]

Hey gang...

I'm officially in California now, but not "fully" moved yet. We're staying with my GF's mom in Garden Grove, CA, which is about 45 minutes away from Hollywood. We'll probably be here for a few weeks or a month. We have a car so we can go down to Hollywood any time. I think my condo in PA is going to sell soon, so as soon as it does, we can get an apartment in the LA/Hollywood area. The good thing is that we don't have to pay rent here in the meantime....which is very helpful.

I have a friend who lives in Garden Grove. There's a museum on Euclid St called "Stanley Ranch" that includes a few historic structures.

Congratulations on your major move, Gary! Good luck!

First time in Southern Cal?
You'll enjoy Hollywood. Lots of old sites and land marks still to see. The Strip on Sunset is also great and if you head west on Sunset through Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Brentwood you can head past the spot where Norma Desmond's mansion was supposed to be, you'll cruise "Dead Man's Curve" made famous by Jan & Dean before you get to Pacific Pallisades and the Pacific Coast Highway where you'll turn left (south) and head down just a couple miles to Santa Monica Pier (the absolute end of Route 66). Muscle Beach is right next door.
Enjoy your stay!

Best, Toots
