Happy Friday, everyone. Last night I went to Henrietta and tonight I’m going to the movies for the third time in a week. For all the ups and downs of the past few years, the film industry — and similarly, the experience of seeing a movie in Los Angeles — is feeling legitimately sexy again. Tomorrow I’m headed to a backyard party in Lincoln Heights. Happy birthday, Brynn and Ryan.
In today’s issue: a roundup of the only open houses you should hit this weekend, Nadia Lee Cohen is searching LA for Joe Exotic-types, Bobo Thai has an opening date in Silver Lake, a new gay bar is open in the Arts District, what to do if you’re thinking of suing the Boyle Heights warehouse owner, a job fair at the Hotel Lucile, Echo Park is getting a new bar, Psychic Wines and Tondo are throwing birthday parties, a burger-eating competition with a real prize, and great houses under $1mm.
Over the past few months, I’ve gotten dozens — maybe hundreds — of emails and DMs from readers requesting more real estate content in the Rag. The local listings I throw in at the end of each issue are frequently the most-clicked links in the letter, and east side agents long ago started pitching me their properties for inclusion (don’t worry, I’ll always pick the houses myself). A few weeks ago, a reader reached out to tell me she bought a house she saw in the newsletter. (Wild.) Others have asked me not to feature the homes they’re making offers on.
Whatever the case, the collective appetite for house porn appears to be limitless. So here’s a special-edition issue of the letter featuring a roundup of all the open houses you could (and should) attend this weekend. Most are on the east side, but I’ve also included a fun one that would require a field trip. Happy hunting, everyone.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it forever — Glendale is undervalued, and Adams Hill is one of the most underrated neighborhood pockets in LA. This post-and-beam house designed in 1955 by Ragnvaldur Johnsen is also, simply put, a great house. It has walls of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking sweeping views, wood-paneled ceilings, a phenomenal kitchen, and a lower-level studio space with its own bathroom. There are a lot of steps up from the street, so visiting (not to mention living there) will be a glute workout. It’s open 8/1 and 8/2 from 12-2pm.
