There was some filming in our neighborhood at the end of August.

Our city likes to attract filming. For those of you who may not know, we’re only 30 or 40 minutes north of Los Angeles, and surrounded by ranch property and hills/national forests, so it’s a great place to [...]

Grammy Museum in Los Angeles
