Brightwell

According to Business Insider, Brightwell is one of the 22 coolest stores in Los Angeles. Better late than never! (Brightwell was open June 2011 - June 2013).

I do still have some stuff if you need a manly, last minute Christmas present. Let me know soon!

You can still see the Taste of the Mideast Side series of maps at Los Angeles County Store for a time. Here's a preview to whet your appetite (which you can reward with snacks from the shop's delicious selection of locally-made goods).

Hello everyone! Please come check out some maps on the 20th at Los Angeles County Store. I'm working on some new maps every day until the show -- a new Mideast Side (the old one sold), Franklin Hills, Victor Heights, Elysian Heights, Westlake, Pico-Union, and MAYBE Central Los Angeles and Griffith Park. Please join and share this event. Thanks!

I do love gin -- classic yet modern, elegant yet manly... of course, I also will accept gifts of scotch, mezcal, and absinthe.
