A Picture's Worth a Thousand Houses

While on vacation this weekend in Los Angeles, we decided to do some sightseeing... RedneckModern style.

Casie mapped all of the Eichler tracts and the Cliff May ranchos in Long Beach, so we hopped in the rental convertible with a 2GB chip in the digital camera... put on a top forty station, got on the Hollywood freeway and headed north (sorry, couldn't resist the Tom Waits riff).

Anyway, we returned with a few hundred exterior shots of the SoCal Eichlers. Enjoy.

Eichlerville // Thousand Oaks

Cliff May Ranchos

And thanks to suggestions from the LottaLiving crew, we enjoyed brunch at Pann's (and ran across Astro's while wondering Silverlake... which found me eating my 2nd Monte Cristo of the weekend.)
