Around Town - Obama Shuts Down Rodeo Drive

Yesterday evening when I walked out of my officethis is what I saw

Rodeo Drive North

and

Rodeo Drive South

Rodeo Drive and other streets throughout the flat of Beverly Hills were shut down completely for all car traffic because the President was at the Beverly Wilshire and local points elsewhere to raise money.

Have I mentioned in the past what this does to create traffic jams all across the the west side of town.

My ride home was even more of a mess than usual.

I can't wait until this election is over.

Enough already...





Around Town - Blonds and Bombs on Rodeo Drive

The usual view on Rodeo Drive

and the unusual view

Here is a photo of the corner of Brighton Way and Rodeo Drive
where the street is blocked to traffic because the police found a suspicious suitcase with wires

So far no loud booms and all is quiet
we're good to go!

OK...so I got the rumor on the bomb scare.
Inside of the mysterious suitcase there was a script that had been delivered to a literary agent to read. 
The agent thought it was not worth reading and tossed it in the garbage in the alley...but missed the giant trash receptacle and the case ended up on the side of the alley.

Around Town - Deck The Hills with SNOW!

Having recently seen the photos of the snowy streets of Paris,
including this image from the blog God, I Love Paris

I was thinking how nice it would be to have a little real winter weather in Beverly Hills

Well, apparently the weather gods (or the Rodeo Drive Committee) are granting me my wish

WEATHER FORECAST:

100% CHANCE OF SNOW FOR BEVERLY HILLS ON THURSDAY, DEC. 9

Mark your calendar for Thursday, Dec. 9 from 6-9 p.m. as Rodeo Drive and the City of Beverly Hills celebrate the Holiday Season with SNOW 90210 and a 100% chance of snow.

The tony city, that averages a 70 degree high temperature, a 73% chance of sunshine and a chilly low temperature of 52 degrees in early December, is guaranteeing a blizzard over 3 blocks of famed shopping street Rodeo Drive and also on Brighton Way.
The brainchild of the Rodeo Drive Committee, SNOW 90210 is based on the highly successful Fashion’s Night Out

I've been in a bah humbug mood all month, probably because there is so much to do and I can't seem to catch up. But I think that a stroll around the neighborhood tonight might be just the thing to put me in the proper Christmas spirit.
