Anastasia Cafe in Laguna Beach Rocks the Lunch Bunch
OK, perhaps I’ve belabored my point with my breakfast reviews of Anastasia Café in Laguna Beach. I think these folks serve the best breakfast in Laguna Beach, period.

“The Vic” World Championship Skim Contest Set for June 29th & 30th
Look, I don’t care what you think you have currently planned for June 29th and 30th. Cancel it.

Green Thumbs, Brown Thumbs Welcome on Sunday’s Gardening Advice Tour
Ruben Flores, the owner of Laguna Nursery, wasn’t just born with a green thumb – he’s ALL green. He just looks at dirt and it rumbles up with spiky greens and floral somethings in seconds. No surprise then, that Ruben has also become something of a well-intentioned Pied Piper of Green Thumbs (and Brown Thumbs) [...]
