Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann R. Deutch on Nov 1, 2009 - 6:40:55 AM

LAUREL CANYON—If all you do is read the Calendar section of the LA Times, and rely on film critics to cultivate your taste, then you’re really missing out.

  Fresh Veggies At Your Doorstep

LAUREL CANYON—Did you know that men are supposed to have nine daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables?  Do know that the old food pyramid had been debunked for Americans?


Wil’ E Coyote

By Joann Deutch on Oct 4, 2009 - 11:10:03 AM
Wil_E_Coyote_pix3-A.jpg
LAUREL CANYON—He has the lower canyon abuzz with gossip, and not because he is a sinister coyote. There have been multiple sightings of a coyote-like animal with big ears. 


  Indian Rock - Elevation 1,320’
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler

runyon_wright_sketch-A.jpg
LAUREL CANYON—A place called Indian Rock in what the Norte Americanos first called No Man's Canyon was surely going to catch my curiosity. The Tongva Indians of Nopalera often hunted in this gorge. 

Who Snatched Our Water?
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Sep 12, 2009 - 7:53:14 AM
Laurel_cany_sou_river-A.jpg
LAUREL CANYON—Laurel Canyon in the middle of a water war?  Seems hardly possible. But there is an undeniable trail of water that has been snatched, which is now graciously being sold back to us.

LAUREL CANYON—We’ve all heard of book clubs, and mommy and me groups.  Everyone tells us that getting together for mutual support and to share interests is important to your soul.


We Could Be Living On The Riviera

pine_cone___nut_4_story-A.jpg
LAUREL CANYONI just knew it!  I had picked up a pine cone from the ground a while ago.  Not just any pine cone, but one with pinoli nuts inside. I said to myself, “How is this possible?


  Architectural Movements In Laurel Canyon
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Aug 8, 2009 - 4:50:47 AM

LAUREL CANYON—Laurel Canyon is the showcase for architectural styles through time.  I was reminded of this with the passing of Julius Shulman, the famous photographer, whose pictures have become iconic.

How Big Can you Build in These Hills?
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Aug 2, 2009 - 6:51:36 AM
hillside_final-A.jpg
Many of us who have lived in the hills for years gripe about new houses being built that are HUGE, and LOOM over the street – architects call it “massing”.  They might as well be New York City skyscrapers. 


  Living The Life Of Kumbaya
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Jul 19, 2009 - 10:19:16 AM
backyard_habitat_sign-A.jpg
LAUREL CANYON—I’d heard rumors that Laurel Canyon typified the hippie lifestyle, but what happened to the generation of flower children?  Tree-hugging young adults who lived the Kumbaya lifestyle?

Swashbuckling Secrets On Mulholland

HOLLYWOOD—Down this inconspicuous lane lies real Hollywood history.  You’d never know just driving by. The house at 3100 Torreyson Drive is a small part of the Errol Flynn legacy. It was built in 1941.


  Photographer Makes You Look Twice
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler

MELROSE—I first saw Katy Park-Wilson’s photographs as part of a four-person exhibit at the Seyhoun Gallery on Melrose.  The curator for the exhibit, and gallery owner was proposing a challenge.


The Official Unofficial Mayor Of Laurel Canyon
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on May 10, 2009 - 7:26:03 AM

LAUREL CANYON—How typical is that of Laurel Canyon?  An Unofficial Mayor that blushes when you mention his honorary title.  Everyone will tell you he’s the chief pep squad leader and rha rha guy for Laurel Canyon....


  The Tale Of Notable Dead Lankershim
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Apr 25, 2009 - 11:44:10 AM

lankershim_marker-A.jpg
LANKERSHIM—Sometimes you come across a morsel of invidious information.  Ya just can’t let it go.  Up in the hills - of all places – a monument  to J. B. Odd, when you know the Lankershims owned The Valley.

To some a hobby - a way to celebrate the arrival of spring.  We find puttering to be relaxing.


  An Adventure On Woodrow Wilson Drive

LOS ANGELES I’d heard that J. Boon Lankershim (his family owned most of the Valley) was buried somewhere near Woodrow Wilson and Mulholland.  Just how hard could a stone marker be to find?

What’s New At Wonderland?

LOS ANGELESParents with kids at Wonderland Avenue Elementary School know there’s a new Sheriff in town. The rest of us are probably clueless to the changes the new principal has made. 


  When Did February Become Springtime?
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Feb 22, 2009 - 8:49:52 AM
P2130417-A.jpg
I’m bundled up.  In the morning I see the hoarfrost on the ground.  Can this is springtime?  Is this how the canyons are gonna do global warming?  It’s barely February for crying out loud.


Location Jobs In The Hills

I was recently meandering on Mulholland near our local Fire Station when I noticed a bunch of cars parked on a pull-out on the south side of Mulholland.  Of course, I had to stop and chat with the security guard.

The time frame: when hippies are in their heyday, and Laurel Canyon is smack dab in the middle of that movement. President Nixon has drafted 500,000 young men soldiering in Vietnam.



Laurel Canyon Grapes

Tommy_wine_Canyon_store-A.jpg
Local wines from Laurel Canyon.  Is this question, or a statement?   Is it possible that in and among all the other intriguing botany Laurel Canyon has the “goods” for local wine?  Stranger things have been known to happen.


  No! I Don’t Want to Drive Down The Hill One More Time!
Point of View : 10 Degrees Cooler
By Joann Deutch on Jan 4, 2009 - 11:57:07 AM

The good news is that you really don’t have to. Living in the Hills does mean that there is no walking to the corner store.  You’re thinking that the sacrifice is worth it.  You’re two or so miles from…
