Lollipop trees Bel Air Road in Los Angeles, California

As we drove by these trees today there was a guy in the middle of the road taking a picture of his girlfriend while she stood under them. They are quintessentially LA and could not exist in Rochester, New York. The traffic on this road is mostly workers – gardeners, pool maintenance people, maids, nannies, construction workers and taco trucks. They filmed the Beverly Hillbillies here. Quincy Jones lives nearby and Zsa Zsa Gabor but the biggest stars in my book are are our two nephews. One is law student and anti-fracking advocate the other is a chef who is currently working at 11 Madison Park and NoMad, two of the top restaurants in the world. They are featured in this week’s New Yorker.
