Nestled at 203 North Chautauqua Boulevard, the Eames House stands as a beacon of mid-20th-century modern architecture. Constructed in 1949 by design visionaries Charles and Ray Eames, this landmark was both their home and studio, masterfully integrating the diverse cultural influences that enrich our society today. From Japanese kokeshi dolls to Native American baskets, the interior is a testament to the Eameses' ability to harmonize eclectic styles within modernist design, reflecting the rich tapestry of global culture akin to the diverse fabric of Los Angeles itself.

The house itself, part of the renowned Case Study Houses, serves as a successful architectural statement and a functional living space. With its mezzanine overviews, brightly colored panels, and a facade that harmonizes with the row of historic eucalyptus trees, the Eames House encapsulates the versatility and openness characteristic of the De Stijl Movement.

Los Angeles is renowned for its cinematic glamour, but as wildfires ravage Southern California, the true beauty of LA shines through its community spirit. Neighbors, volunteers, and local businesses have united, providing a network of support for those displaced. Shelters fill with warmth and aid, exemplifying unmatched solidarity in times of need.

The city's vibrant arts and entertainment industries are also rallying to support fire relief efforts. Celebrities, artists, and musicians are spearheading benefit concerts and establishing emergency funds, transforming their artistic expressions into actions of tangible support and community rebuilding.

In this crisis, the real essence of Los Angeles emerges—not just a city of stars, but a community of resilience and compassion. Together, we stand strong, embodying the true spirit of LA as we support each other and move forward.

As we face the challenges brought on by the wildfires encircling our community—from the Palisades Fire to the Acton Fire—it’s a time for vigilance and unity. In these moments, staying attuned to our surroundings isn't just about safety; it's about preserving the well-being of our entire community.

Staying updated is more than a precaution; it’s how we protect each other. Whether it’s a notification on your phone or an announcement echoing through our neighborhoods, each message carries weight, guiding us on when to stay put and when to move to safety.

This experience calls for us to feel—deeply and with compassion—the needs of our neighbors and friends. It compels us to act, not out of fear, but from a collective need to safeguard our shared home.

If the call comes to evacuate, heed it with all seriousness. Our belongings can be replaced, but the fabric of our community depends on each of us being safe and sound.

In this season of trial, let’s stay connected. Let’s keep our phones charged and our spirits willing to help. Together, we’ll navigate this chapter, just as we have others—with grace and a commitment to one another.

Stay safe, LA.

As we gather to give thanks, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible journey travel has led me on.

This Veterans Day, we celebrate the enduring spirit and legacy of Captain Rosemary Bryant Mariner, a pioneer who forever changed the skies and opened new horizons for women in the military. Joining the Navy in 1973, Captain Mariner became one of the first women to enter naval flight training, breaking barriers with her courage and determination. In 1990, she soared to new heights as the commander of the Navy "Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron" at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, marking her as the first woman to command an operational air squadron.

Captain Mariner’s advocacy went beyond flight; she was instrumental in lifting combat restrictions for women, reinforcing that bravery and patriotism know no gender. Her legacy continues to inspire a new generation at the VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Ventura, California, named in her honor. This facility is a testament to her impact, featuring women-specific care areas, a dedicated waiting room, provider space, and a pioneering women-only entrance—the first of its kind in the Greater Los Angeles area.

As you step into the clinic, you feel a sense of pride and progress. The air carries a quiet strength, and the walls, adorned with tributes to Captain Mariner, echo her remarkable journey. Here, every corner is designed with care and respect, ensuring that all who served can find comfort and recognition.

Tropicana Field, originally known as the Florida Suncoast Dome, stands out in Major League Baseball with its 1.1 million square feet of unique design features and fan amenities that are unparalleled in the league. As the only non-retractable domed stadium in MLB, it offers a year-round indoor venue that has also hosted college football and, from December 2008 to December 2017, was the proud home of the St. Petersburg Bowl.

This iconic structure was meant to serve as a safe haven for storm personnel during Hurricane Milton. However, the hurricane's fierce winds tore through Tropicana Field, ripping apart its roof and leaving the venue in ruins. Beyond the structural damage at the stadium, Hurricane Milton ravaged the Florida coast, destroying homes, flooding streets, and triggering deadly tornadoes.

The communities affected by this disaster are in dire need of support to recover from the extensive damage and rebuild their lives.
