Urban Living in California

Forest City Residential West is hosting a rooftop reception and docent tours of the historical landmark building, The Mercury, the first and only high-rise condominium in Koreatown originally designed by famed Los Angeles architect, Claud Beelman. The reception takes place on Saturday, September 29th, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mercury, 3810 Wilshire Boulevard. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served, and docent tours of the renovated building will continue throughout the event. This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and RSVP is required. Call 877.586.9652 to RSVP.

For those of us who find our weekends to be lacking in fun and adventure, might I humbly suggest finding fun and adventures at the movie theatre? (because why go through the trouble of having your own adventures when you can watch someone else’s and take it as your own?)  The highly anticipated summer blockbuster Transformers is now available for our viewing pleasure through the “IMAX experience”.  Starting from September 21, IMAX@the Bridge will be showing an extended version of Transformers on their larger than life panoramic screen.  With great seats, a highly recommended bar and restaurant, and complementary concierge service, the IMAX theatre sets the stage for a perfect weekend evening out.
