On March 3, 2008, Culver CityBus commemorated its 80th Anniversary. Culver CityBus is the second oldest municipally-owned bus line in the State of California. Following a dispute with Pacific Electric Railway, the City of Culver City sought to establish its own independent transit system, one that would provide quality transit service to the residents of Culver City and its neighbors. On March 3, 1928, the State Railroad Commission granted Culver City's request and Culver CityBus was established. Since its inception, Culver CityBus has provided efficient and affordable public transit service to the residents of Culver City and the surrounding communities. Today, the name "Culver CityBus" is synonymous with safe, reliable, convenient, and friendly public transit service. 10/07/2008

We get to Los Angeles quite regularly and in some ways it feels like a second home. As one of the largest cities in the country, LA affords one a wealth of things to do, see and experience. Great dining is one of them. One of my favorite things to do is enjoy new restaurants that make a great impression - for the food, the service and the ambiance. Brunello Trattoria in Culver City (affectionately called Brunello's) is a new place on my list of favorite eateries in LA. The place reminded me of some places I have eaten in Italy - friendly and convivial staff, attentive service, Italian being spoken by the staff and owners (he is the master of operations, she is the chef), outstanding and beautiful food (melt in your mouth pastas and risottos, incredible desserts, artfully prepared salads... 09/24/2008

1.  Pricing a Home with no knowledge of the Market Conditions- Every Market is different, with different strategies for selling in each. Currently, we are in a strong Buyer's Market, but it's not always that way! Do yourself a favor and retain a good Realtor to help you with Comps in your neighborhood.Remember: a home is only worth, what a buyer is willing to pay for it. A home that is priced correctly for the market conditions will sell..and it will sell FAST! 2.Taking things  too  personally While purchasing or selling  a home can be an emotional experience, it doesn't have to be. Look at each issue as a monatary one. You don't like the wallpaper? The bottom line is..what will it cost to replace it? Or, what will it cost you as the seller, to de-personalize your home so that it appeal... 09/01/2008
