We have done golf, cooking, and Legos in the past.  The kids had fun.

And it feels really good to be #12  :D

Being from the Midwest, Strickland's is very comparable imo.  I believe the original owner of Stricklands is from Ohio and there are Strickland stores over there.

There must be something else besides the proximity to the 405.  That house has been on/off the market for years.  It's 3 levels- maybe that's an issue as well.

We have a Japanese Maple in our backyard.  It faces south/east.  It's planted in our corner of the yard so does get shade and dappled sun in late afternoon.  I wanted a Japanese Maple in our front yard, but as the front yard faces west- the master gardener I worked with was strongly opposed to...

Very true about the Crepe Myrtles- they seems to be everywhere. When we did our landscaping, the master gardener had us go around and take pictures of landscapes we like so that she had an idea of kinds of landscaping/modern/tuscan, etc.  We loved the landscaping over in Irvine Terrace in...

My question is what were the kids doing out at 2 am on a Monday- with school starting today?  How tragic.

I agree with NYT.  We went with a landscape architect for the overall vision/plans.  He then recommended several contractors for the hardscape.  When it came time for plant selection, I hired a a third person, a master gardener, to select waterwise trees/landscaping.  The landscape architect was...

What's the biggest lot size you can get in LA?

I agree with you.  I have to calculate extra time to deal with the Mariners/Vista Verde/Tarbut school crowd every morning on my way to work.  It is a hassle to turn from Shady Canyon drive onto Bonita Canyon in the morning.  I have to remember to stay in the right turn lane on Shady Canyon...

The Triana home- is that model the largest home avaiable in all of Laguna Altura?  Which tract is that? Those pictures are horrible.  Just seeing the side yards would turn away buyers.  I would feel so constricted. And the kitchen- for $1.5 million, I'd want cabinets that go all the way to...

The two Darya's are different owners.

I like Royal Khyber near South Coast Plaza http://www.royalkhyber.com/home.html

The stuffed pizza looks good from Rance's :)

Even though I'm a Chicagoan- i am not that much into stuffed pizza because I'd look like that picture you posted- but for my favorites, I'd pick: Stuffed: Bacino's, then Giordano's Pan: Lou Malnotti's Chicago thin (thicker than NY): Aurelio's or Pizano's People also like Ranalli's, Connie's...

Actually Gino's is my least favorite.  I don't know what the hype is for tourists that go to that place :)  I think I've maybe be there 2x in my life. 

IHO- Northwood Pizza- Meh I am from Chicago so all the pizza here is pretty horrible, imo- and it doesn't matter if it's stuffed, pan or thin.  If I have pizza- it's Al's NY Cafe in Costa Mesa.  (NY Style).  The place is a dump, but the pizza is good. 

I agree IHO- OH is too far for me.  Honestly, you can't get me to drive north past Irvine Center Drive.  Thankfully there's nothing over there worth driving to!

I have to agree with BMW 3-series and Infinity G-37 drivers.  Younger male hot rods. And Prius- I see them in 2 camps.  One- the annoying driver trying to get that extra bit of gas mileage while slowing everyone else down.  And the other camp- trying to outrun my Mercedes.  Both camps are annoying

I'd choose the Pulte.  The Taylor Morrison home is so ugly.  Really bad curb appeal, imo.
