BWAP --

Thanks for the tip. I've seen that place many times. I'll pass it along. I'm also impressed that you apparently keep an L.A. Yellow Pages back there in Boston. I don't even do that!

BTW -- not to be persnickety, but Abbot Kinney is probably, technically Venice, abutting Marina Del Rey. However, L.A. neighborhoods are rarely determinable anyway, mislabelled by the phone company, and redefined at the whims of the status conscience. Hence, if you read real estate ads, fully half of L.A. is either "Beverly Hills-adjacent" or "West Hollywood-adjacent." My favorite example is a bar in Culver City calling itself "the East Marina Bar & Grill". Think about that one...(a land-locked marina)

In case you didn't know, Abbot Kinney was the guy who built the Venice canals (the L.A. ones, I mean). The street was renamed about a decade or so back and was previously named "West Washington" if I remember right.
