      Great list…..

        If you go down the road from Self Edge, there are stores for Arc'teryx, Best Made Co, Fjallraven, Reigning Champion, and Schott. It's worth a walk down that way for a browse.

        The RRL store in Hollywood is also pretty good. It's in a converted gas station or garage.

        In North Hollywood, there's Gallery 800 on Lankershim Boulevard, which is run by a friend of mine (Abra), so say hello if you drop by. And go to Republic of Pie (around the corner) for their excellent baked goods!

        Mann's Chinese Theatre is great. It's Art Deco building, set up as an IMAX screen. It's probably a bit touristy, but fun to catch a movie there.

        Further out, there are various beach cafés in Malibu. I've been to a couple, and they're quite fun. But be aware that the portion sizes at Paradise Cove are enormous!

          Fantastic, thank you @Graeme ! Mann's was on the list as an "if we're nearby" thing, since I think we will be at various points. I actually am in the market for a black hoodie so I'd like to hit Reigning Champ before my likely decision to go IH.

          Think it, be it.

            @mclaincausey Mann's (actually TCL these days) is about two miles from Self Edge, so not far. You can even go for an In n Out burger whilst you're at it. 🙂

              I came here to wish Iron Heart fam in the region the very best amid these horrific wildfires.

              I see the latest discussion was the fine folks in this forum helping with recommendations when my wife, dog, and I were moving to Redondo Beach for 6 weeks for her to launch the Porsche Taycan at the Porsche Experience Center. COVID chased us out of there and I got to do almost none of it, but in the week or so that we were there we really enjoyed it.

              5 years and a kid later: here’s to you, LA. I hope you come back even stronger and more beautiful.

                I grew up in Los Angeles and still have a lot of family and friends there. My dad lives in Alhambra which is very close to the Pasadena fire and has described a war zone like atmosphere. Mass exodus has made the whole area gridlocked and chaos laden. The fear and uncertainties the people of that area are feeling is truly gut wrenching.

                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                  Thanks, @mclaincausey I was looking for something similar before I posted the same. Thoughts are with all Angelians (?) Angelenos (?) right now. It's truly horrible to watch the destruction from afar.

                    Since I never get to use the word "demonym," yes "Angelenos" is the preferred nomenclature, dude.

                          My house is right outside the evacuation zone and I’ve been in Europe so it’s been immensely stressful tracking these fires. Seriously thanking god the winds didn’t shift. Getting back home today and it’s like descending into hell and a war zone.

                              I should be ok. But eventually my house is going to burn down. It’s in the hills and it is inevitable in this new normal we live in.

                                    the situation outside of fire season is not great as well. insurance companies have been leaving california or refusing to insure those who live in high fire risk areas. and who decides what is a fire risk? the insurance companies. we were not renewed last july and scrambled to find one. our new insurer is triple the cost of what we were previously paying. and unfortunately if you are paying a mortgage you absolutely need insurance. families are either losing their homes to fire or losing their homes to lenders after not being able to find insurance

                                      It's really a heartbreaking situation. Probably what will be worse is what's found later on.
