John Pugliese's Bright and Open Briarcliff View House
This is a beautiful house that has consistent flow and style . The openness of the kitchen and roofdeck areas are breathtaking.
The material choices are interesting and polished without interfering or overwhelming.
Great job.

PS. Obviously the negative comments are from a disgruntled girlfriend or
jealous person. Extremely immature and from someone with no design experience. Get a life…
Famous West Hollywod Club The Factory Changing Hands
Last time I checked, the building was owned by Nate Goller, husband of the late Phyllis Morris. The business assoiciated with part of the building may have been sold, but I would check on the building. I think it is still owned by Phyllis’ family. I think there may be a separate lease on the LaPeer side of the building or at least there was at one time.
Also you forgot to mention that the building once housed the "Rose Tatoo" restaurant, which had a great run
This place looks really nice even from those horrible photos. Here’s something about this place when it was first built:

J.L. Smith has the contract for the construction of a seven-room frame residence at No. 5317 Abbott place for Mrs. Gertrude M. Block. Jeffery and Van Trees are the architects.

(Jan. 24, 1938) ACTORTAKESBRIDE AT SANTABARBARA
Joseph E. Kenny, 26-year-old actor of 1815 North Las Palmas avenue, and Miss Connie O’Sullivan, 23, of 5317 Abbott Place, nonprofessional, were married yesterday in Santa Barbara Mission in the presence of fifty acquaintances after plans for a secret marriage were disclosed. William Gargan, Universal Pictures actor, was best man.
Broadway bustles because it has hundreds of ground-floor shops, tightly spaceddlike any good main drag. And as John Kamp, a local city planner points out, Broadway is also successful because it has so many bus stops. People come to Broadway because it is part of their everyday trajectory through the city, not a special trip to an unlikely destination.. The crowds justify high rents, which in some cases are higher per square foot than on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

Kurt E: nice work!
Hollywood: you’re probably right. Areas of a few blocks like LIttle Tokyo or Little Italy have a nice touristy ring to them, but large ethnically identified neighborhoods, especially ones in transition or development, seem somewhat uninviting to outsiders. Ktown has very substantial hispanic and anglo groups and is a great place to live for anybody plus it has no true historic Korean connection. But the name is in common use, so this may not mean much.
With today’s technology, I can’t believe how hard it is for them to get this working in a logical way. Even their website is horrible. It looks like some sort of clunky e-commerce site from 1999. They should have some way of keeping the paper day pass that you used to be able to buy right on the bus. I see so many confused tourists and I try to explain it to them but I don’t speak German. They say you have to have a plastic tap card but do they honestly think tourists or people who rarely use mass transit are going to think ahead and order a card and wait for it to come in the mail? They need to just bring back day passes and transfers and just let people like me have the stupid card for a monthly pass.
