Happy Halloween from your Beverly Hills CA Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr.

I have enclosed a few pictures of decorated homes in West Los Angeles. There are so many wonderfully decorated homes in the Greater Los Angeles, I just happened to be driving by these homes and thought to share with you.

Here is a small Trivia: Did you know that the “Irish immigrants” who fled the Potato Famine of Ireland brought with them the “Halloween Tradition which we know today as “Trick or Treating”? It was more of an “extortion”, “if you give sweets, then we will not deface your home” and to this day it is still a favorite tradition for young children to go home to home and as for “sweets”

So Halloween remains a Scary Tradition for young and old. If you want a cool website that tells all about Halloween please check this out http://www.halloween.com/

Hope you enjoyed some of these pictures of the homes I enclosed

The End is near! Armageddon! Carmageddon! Now have fun and Relax!

The End is near! Armageddon! Carmageddon! Ok, let's be real, everyone is on the hype that Carmageddon in Los Angeles, CA will create havoc and destruction. We are a society of let's be herded i.e.: the herd mentality. We like to be lead. I beg you, Please do not buy into the doomsday scenario.

The definition of Armageddon is the world's end scenario, the place of the final battle to end the world. More generically we have been using the term for the end of the world scenario. Now we cobbled out the newly coined phrase Carmageddon. OK for most of us Angelinos not being able to drive would translate this to "the end of the world". OK I grant you the group of geniuses who came up with this plan in the middle of summer vs. during the off months of the winter might not have been the brightest planners in the world. The mid July Tourist will feel like the end will not be near, if they are sitting in traffic for hours.

OK, traffic expert, news media talking heads, politicians and bloggers are telling us that it will be a real mess out there. The 101 Freeway, the 10 Freeway, the 405 Interstate and all the surface roads heading near to or from it, so OK I get it. My answer is very simple: stay at home, Period!

Let me re-assure you, the World will Not, I say will not end; you just will get a well deserved Relaxation Time that you have been dreaming about for the past two years. How about spending time relaxing at home? How about relaxing by the pool, after all it is summer and it will be in the 80's Saturday & Sunday? How about that" summer read" you meant to read? How about spending time with your family?

Well if you do not take my advice than, go ahead, be depressed, go ahead and stress and enjoy the Traffic Mayhem from July 16^th to July 18^th, that is Midnight Friday to Monday Morning. I will not be showing properties, nor holding open houses instead will I be by the pool? You guessed it, yes I will be at the pool. Have a terrific weekend everyone!

If you are looking for a friendly place to sit read your newspaper, or use the wifi to check your email on your laptop in West Los Angeles, then Peet's is the place. First opened in 1966 in Berkeley, CA by Alfred Peet, Peet's Coffee and Tea became a gathering place for coffee lovers. Alfred Peet actually mentored the founders of Starbucks and supplied them with the coffee for their first three years in business. There are approximately nine stores on the Westside of Los Angeles, but the one I frequent is by far the best.

Located at 1854 Westwood Blvd. (just south of Santa Monica Blvd.) this Peet's is a true neighborhood cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and know all their regular customers by name. The store is a magnet for the locals and if you sit there long enough, someone you know will come in. You may even have time to talk to them if you can tear yourself away from the friends you have made there. The Artisan baked goods are kosher and include an array of muffins, croissants, scones and Danish. Next time you are in the West Los Angeles area, do drop in and say hello. Oh, and did I mention the coffee is absolutely delicious.
