The Virginia Robinson Gardens: A Hidden Gem in Beverly Hills
The hedges grow taller and broader on the drive up Elden Way as they work to conceal increasingly audacious mansions.

A modest scrolling wrought iron gate marks the entrance, a portal back to a place and time that was more warm and welcoming.

Our city council seems to want Santa Monica to be ever more trashy and financially struggling, rather than classy and financially sound. Thanks to a well-deserved reputation for crime and rampant shoplifting, Santa Monica is failing as a tourist destination, and many stores on Third Street are empty. (REI leaving 4th Street broke my heart.) Landlords are bleeding cash and are desperate for anyone willing to rent their spaces. It seems like the only tenants they can get now are tattoo parlors, massage parlors and cannabis stores.
