Mark's Garden

It seems that everone in the entertainment business uses this florist, and for good reason. The arrangements are spectacular. Expect to pay for that level of quality, though. The only drawback is this place is so busy, it's difficult to get personalized service (someone different answers the phone every time you call) and unless you're a major client, it's doubtful they'll accomodate special requests like rush deliveries or deliveries even slightly out of their usual zone.

Shin, Steven S, Md - Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic

Kerlan Jobe is a huge, state of the art complex with numerous fellowship trained orthopedic doctors. MRIs and other diagnostic tests are performed here and the staff is compassionate and professional. Appointments can be obtained relatively quickly. William Dillin in particular is an excellent doctor who truly seems dedicated to medicine and his patients.

Toys R Us

Awesome selection of toys that's centrally located in Santa Monica. Parking is rough, but you can park across the st. at the many parking facilities. There's an amazing selection and that's what to be expected.

PROS: Tons Of Toys
CONS: Parking

Suncoast

Lots of films on dvd's the selection is decent. There are many dvd's and the cost is expensive though. It's worth a drop in, but to purchase... not for my money. I like to check the store out, but Best Buy is a far superior deal.

PROS: Selection (Ordering)
CONS: Cost

Oakley's Barber Shop

UCLA's legendary haircut experience. I've been going here since I was a junior there and it's the place to be. Haircut experience is setup for the male mainly, so it's a shop that talks sports (hair done by both men and women), but it's a good place to get a great cut at a nice price.

PROS: Cost To Students
CONS: Cost To Non Students

The Wiltern

This is the place to be and it's where you can view some great artist. I went here one time and I'm waiting for the opportunity to go again. I can't begin to tell you how much of a dream it was to watch a favorite artist of mine perform there. Check it out for sure.

PROS: Amazing Arena
CONS: Parking

Landmark Nuart Theatre

Films that are missed and seen once again are experienced here at this normal size theater experience. I drive by and see the lines there all the time and now have experienced what it's all about. Check your local LA Times for what's gonna be there, because sometimes it's a once in a moment thing (for return films).

Mann Village

What else can you say, except this is what viewing a film is all about. Experience this film the way the directors vision you viewing it. The theater is exceptional and despite the usual extravagant cost that come with movies today, get ready for the experience like the stars that view the movies for the first time.

Poquito Mas

Here's what you get that you can't get at the other facilities. More bang for the buck!!! The amount of food is exceptional and the taste is awesome. When they say the name 'A Little More,' they mean it. It's just that good and worth every penny.

PROS: More Food
CONS: None

Aron's Records

This is one of the great remaining places to find what you're looking for. Great items that are availble to you. Whatever your needs, you can find it here. Music collections are never complete without your Arrons update periodically.

PROS: Selections Of CD's DVD, etc.
CONS: Cost Of Used On SOME
