In the land of Kardashians, AKA Calabasas, there resides the award-winning Historical Monument #1 and living history museum “Leonis Adobe Museum.” It’s chock full of history with an expansive Old West California Ranch experience from the 1880’s checking all the boxes Tomatoes. And when done you’ve got old town Calabasas right across the street for eats and drinks.

The Leonis Adobe Museum  will go beyond your expectations with something for everyone Tomatoes.  The museum consists of the Leonis Adobe Mansion, Plummer House  (the oldest house in Hollywood prior to its move to Calabasas), barns, water tower, farm equipment, a vineyard and around the corner Calabasas Creek Park with an Old West jail, antique ironwork and beautiful gardens. Of course, we can’t forget the Percheron Horses , the Long Horns, the sheep, goats, chickens and Turkeys.  You can tour the inside of the homes and get a peak of life in Calabasas from back in time.

Sept 22. Frogtown Art Walk

The “Frogtown Artwalk” is a community festival that engages Elysian Valley artists, businesses and residents in a celebration of creativity. It might be hard to believe Tomatoes but this Artwalk stretches 2 miles along the LA River. That’s a Wow Tomatoes.

37 Venues, 50 artists, 3 stages with music, a “literary lounge”, an interactive light installation stretching ½ mile along the LA River, pedi-cabs, live screen-printing with Leo Limon and Self-Help Graphics, and dance exhibits at First Impressions. Looks like the 11^th Frogtown Artwalk will be hopping Tomatoes.

Sept 22. The GOONIES LIVE

Yep, you heard me right Tomatoes.  Tomorrow night the historic Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood will host “The Goonies: Live! A Fundraiser for RAICES” with a live read of the script from the 1980s cult-hit film “The Goonies”. And here’s the best part: all the proceeds will be donated to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) and it’s not too late to get tickets ladies.

The reading features an eclectic crew of stars from film and TV. Among the cast are: Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect, Hairspray), Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Silicon Valley) Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin, Annihilation), Nicole Byer (Nailed It!, *Loosely Exactly Nicole) and many more.

I simply had to give a shout out for this event because RAICES is such a vital and impressive non-profit and a frontline organization in the debate about immigration and immigrants in the world. As an organization that combines expertise developed from the daily practice of immigration law with a deep commitment to advocacy, RAICES is unique among immigration organizations. The nonprofit’s advocacy and commitment to change are driven by the clients and families it serves every day as its attorneys and legal assistants provide legal advocacy and representation in an immigration system that breaks apart families and leaves millions without pathways to legal status. In 2017, RAICES staff closed 51,000 cases at no cost to the client. https://www.raicestexas.org
