Getting a referral from a friend in my business is my bread and butter - meaning its the constant flow of business without the aggressive sales pitches. But if there is one thing Id love to socially fix is the awkward cocktail party introduction where one friend does what they can to gain me additional business with the Tony is the best Realtor youll ever meet hand off which typically results in a knee jerk reply of so how is the market these days conversation. It reminds of my dating years when unknowingly I was introduced to the newly single girl at the party. I digress however a big THANK YOU to my friends making this the most successful year of my career and were only half way there! So with that news, lets talk statistically... Last year during the month of July the Beach Cities and Palos Verdes recorded a total of 210 transactions and as of press-time were tracking for an approximate 12% increase (slightly higher than the YTD average at 10%). August trends as the third most active month each year (behind May/June respectively) so all of us in this business can continue to say, The Market is Great!.

The Old Town Music Hall

o f E l S eg u n d o
writ ten By Denise Kano
What was first known as the El Segundo State Theater, a charming 188-seat
Local Memories
theater built in 1921, became the Old Town Music Hall in the 1960s. How this came Field who purchased the Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Pipe Organ in 1958 from the Fox West Theater in nearby Long Beach, and had it installed into the El Segundo of more than 2,600 pipes. The organ console has four keyboards, 260 switches, and an assortment of controls and pedals. In 1968, when we opened, we only had concerts no movies, explains Bill Field. The theater organ was having a big comeback at the time, and the concerts were jammed. People who were around in the 20s and 30s showed up.
I remember going there once with my girl scout troop, says longtime El
about is due to the ingenuity of the two Bills musicians Bill Coffman and Bill
Segundo resident, Kristin Van Heuven. I was impressed by the Mighty Wurlitzer adult I appreciate that place much more than I did as a kid, not quite understanding what a unique gem it really is.
and thinking that silent movies were very strange. I must say, though, that as an
State Theater, which was originally built in 1921. The Mighty Wurlitzer is made up
On a recent visit to the 188-seat Music Hall, a group of third-graders watched a silent movie as part of a local field trip. Their appreciative laughter and clapping could be heard in the small foyer of the theater. This field trip is offered annually to kids from all the nearby El Segundo schools, and they get to see a unique theater while experiencing a silent movie and listening to the historic organ. They love the silent movie, sing-a-long, and having the organ played for them, says Field, who took organ lessons as a child and loves keeping the treasured organ in the local community. Bill Coffman passed away in December of 2001. Bill Field proudly continues the Music Halls grand tradition of screening movies and showing off the beautiful organ of the theater. The Music Hall is located at 140 Richmond Street in El Segundo, and is open Friday through Sunday for screenings. Group tours and theater rentals for fundraising events are available. Upcoming entertainment includes the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra, and an All Star Comedy Festival with an audience sing-a-long.
For 45 years, Field has been playing this organ at his theater. He tells the story of how his partner, Bill Coffman, had first seen an ad in the Daily Breeze about a theater for rent, and after seeing the space and deeming it as perfect for their needs, they brought the organ in and set about refurbishing the building. The theater started running silent movies, but eventually the format was changed to include sound movies and musicals. The first sound [movie], we had a line clear down the corner waiting to get in, says Field.

in the kitchen with...

L i s a H e m m at
of Lido di Manhattan
Entrepreneurship came early to Lido di Manhattan owner Lisa Hemmat. As a high school student, she started an under-21 nightclub, selling tickets to her classmates. During college, shed fly home to her native Seattle for the summers, where shed bake homemade pies with an assistant and sell 100 a day at the fabled Pike Place Market. So it was only natural that, in her 20s, shed become one of the South Bays youngest restaurant owners. Hemmat recently chatted with South Bay Digs about food, wine and the evolution of the South Bay foodie.
W R I TTE N by Pamela Corante - H ansen
i n t he k i t c he n
South Bay Digs: You bought the restaurant in 2004 and its gone through some changes since then. Whats your formula for success? Lisa Hemmat: We stand out because were one of the few independent restaurants on Rosecrans, surrounded by corporate giants. People who come here are looking for a small, family-run feel. I dont have a lot of staff turnover, so the servers remember faces; they remember what people like to order. I also think the quality of the food sets us apart. We make everything from scratch and I try to update the menu a few times a year and offer interesting daily specials. We also have a really good selection of wines. I want to give customers a reason to keep coming back. We want this to be the place where you can come in, relax, have some wine and get away from it all. SBD: What changes have you seen in the typical South Bay restaurant customer over the years? LH: I definitely think diners are more aware of what they are eating, especially in L.A. and South Bay. People want to be on the healthier side, and there are certain dietary needs we have to accommodate. We offer gluten-free and vegetarian items, because if you cant accommodate people with dietary needs, theyll find another place to go. My chef is good at fulfilling special requests. Also, people want to know where their food comes from, so weve switched gears in the last year and a half and gone to more organic produce and wild-caught seafood. Before, Id have menu items that werent in season, but now I wont offer them. SBD: How did you get interested in food and wine? LH: When I took over the restaurant, I knew nothing about wine. I learned about it by going to different tasting events and wineries. I started taking it seriously about five years ago when I changed the focus of Lido to give it more of a wine bar theme, and I became a Level I sommelier. Theres a huge passion for wine in the South Bay, which is why I created Thursday wine tasting nights. The set-up is similar to walking into winery. Well feature a winery from one region, offer five different wines and a sampling of different appetizers. Its fun to serve less common wines by the glass to help educate customers and get them to try something they wouldnt normally order. SBD: Sounds like a great way to learn about wine. LH: Its fun to experience wine with food, so well
host winemaker dinners four times a year. Ill bring in the owner and the winemaker. Typically well do pairings with five different wines. It takes time and effort, but its rewarding and fun. SBD: Whats your philosophy on food and wine pairing? LH: I think people should do what theyre comfortable with, however you should keep in mind that wine can change the dynamics of a certain food. The right pairing brings out the acidity and flavors of the wine. Personally, I like to drink wine that doesnt need food. Sometimes a nice cheese plate goes with a variety of wines. I do think pairing guidelines are important; you dont want a big Cab with seafood. Pinot Noir is usually a safe bet.
On the Menu
One of Lido di Manhattans signature dishes is the Vodka Penne Pasta, which you can serve as a first course for six or as a main dish for four.
Vodka Pasta
ingredients:
1 ounce olive oil
SBD: Are there any secrets or tricks of the trade youd like to share? LH: I love to go to the farmers market. My mom was a great chef and loved to cook, so we were spoiled with family meals! I do like cooking with wine. I mean, drinking it while Im cooking [laughs]. With my schedule I dont have that much time to cook. If I shop for a lot of ingredients, they end up going bad unless Im having a dinner party. SBD: What are the three most common mistakes home cooks make? LH: People make the mistake of not tasting as they are preparing, which results in textures and flavors getting out of balance and not tasting quite right. Recipes dont always call for the right amount of seasoning, and cooking times are generally estimates. Results can vary depending on your ingredients, your stove, the altitude and a million other factors. Your palate is the real judge. Also, dried herbs have much more potent flavors than fresh herbs, so you have to be careful when subbing out fresh ingredients. It goes back to tasting and adjusting your recipe as you go so that you can be aware of the changes in flavor as you add ingredients. Last but not least, know your cooking equipment. Dont overfill your pan, and know the quirks of your oven and stove. Sometimes one side is hotter than the other, and restaurant equipment and what you see on TV is much different from home cooking equipment. You can adjust to the right temperatures, but practice makes perfect.
1 teaspoon chopped shallots 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1 pinch crushed red pepper 2 ounces chopped prosciutto 1 ounce vodka 1 cups prepared marinara sauce cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (garnish) 4 cups cooked penne pasta Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Method:
Heat a large saute pan over medium heat, then add olive oil, shallots, garlic, crushed red pepper and prosciutto. Sautee all ingredients until the shallots and garlic are lightly browned.
Add the vodka and stir, then add the marinara sauce and heavy cream and mix together. Reduce the sauce 4-5 minutes, then add the basil and salt and pepper to taste.
Toss with cooked penne pasta and parsley, and add Parmesan cheese if desired.

SOUTH BAY HISTORY TIDBITS

MASTHEAD
FREDERICK OLMSTED JR. AND CHARLES CHENEY

BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES
Publisher Warren J Dow associate publisher Christopher Matalone
Creative Director Amanda Nelson-Sinagra Digital Media Specialist Kieron McKay
Born in 1870, Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was the son of the Central Park architect Frederick Law Olmsted. He took over the firm together with his stepbrother, John Charles Olmsted, when his father died in 1895, renaming it Olmsted Brothers. Frederick had two substantial impacts on the planning of the South Bay. The original developer of the City of Torrance, Jared Sydney Torrance, engaged him to create a master plan of the city in 1911. Olmsteds overall Torrance plan was innovative for its time. It divided the original town into three districts: the business district at the citys core, which we know now as Old Torrance, the industrial district to the north and east of the city core, and

the residential district to the west. Perhaps Fredericks most influential impact was in his firms ground breaking landscape design for the City of Palos Verdes Estates. They laid out Palos Verdes Estates roadways and prepared the landscape design for Malaga Cove Library, Malaga Cove School, and the La Venta Inn. Over 10,000 trees and shrubs were planted during the early days of development. To promote landscaping by the new homeowners, a large nursery was created in Lunada Bay to sell plants at cost. Mr. Olmsted also decided to make the Peninsula his permanent home and became the first person in Palos Verdes to build directly upon the edge of the bluffs on Rosita Place. The most impressive part of his designs for Palos Verdes Estates was his design for the entrance to Palos Verdes Estates from Redondo Beach on Palos Verdes Drive. The sweeping flow of the drive into the city seems to bring the visitor into another world of lush landscaping and eucalyptus trees The resulting Malaga Cove Plaza and surrounding area remains one of the most beautiful urban locations in the South Bay to this day. In 2000, a small parcel of parkland was created in Olmsteds honor in the Plaza and named Olmsted Place. The overall master plan for Palos Verdes Estates was developed by Charles Henry Cheney, an architect and city planner. This was one of the earliest examples of a master planned community. More than 120 miles of paved roads were drawn into the plans. Over 4,000 acres were reserved for parks and playgrounds and recreational areas. Even 1,000 acres were set aside for a university campus that was included in a proposal for the new UCLA campus. Mr. Cheney also developed the deed restrictions which still govern architectural standards in the city through its Art Jury. Mr. Cheney was also a consultant to the city planning commissions for the cities of Fresno, Berkeley, Palos Alto,

4.3%
Big news on the financial front: mortgage rates have increased the past few weeks, and are unlikely to get back down to the 3s anytime soon. But take heart; rising rates are a sign of an improved and healthier economy. The number of homes for sale in the US rose 4.3 percent in June 2013 to 1.9 million the highest number this year so far. (Source: Realtor.com)
Would you pay $100 Million for a home?

Some people would. There are now more than one dozen homes in the US alone that are listed for $100 Million dollars or more. These ultra-luxurious properties are usually oceanfront, like the most expensive place currently on the market: a 50-acre, $190 million home in Greenwich, Conn with about 4,000 feet of ocean views.

Want to play a round of billiards, but youre in your swimming pool so you cant? No longer be a slave to physics! Opulent Items waterproof pool table can be installed professionally so that you can swim and play pool at the same time. Extravagant? Yes. Imagine the hours of revelry betting on games while drinks spill into your pool. Just kidding, you wont spill any drinks (we hope), but you will enjoy showing off your lavish good taste while entertaining guests who are bored of traditional, water-only swimming pools that have no expensive or unique furniture in them. Our next suggestion: a waterproof cue rack. Think about it. The waterproof pool table is available from Opulent Items at www.opulentitems.com. photos are courtesy of Opulent Items.

Bob is a total professional, extremely knowledgeable about Real Estate in general and especially about the local market. Also, he is a really decent guy and not the pushy type, who is only interested in getting the listing or the sale. Bob is a very pleasant person to do business with, while still getting the job done and keeping his clients informed. I have enjoyed being his client and his friend.

Recent Client Testimonial:

Regan Hagestad came highly recommended by our realtor, who sang his praises as a fast, dependable Mortgage Professional who would work tirelessly to get us the best product possible. Regan is exactly that; he was there every step of the way to guide us through the loan process. As first time home buyers, our questions were many, frequent and always urgent. Regan understood our needs and was always available to us, quick to respond even after hours, and even on his vacation! Miraculously, he found a product to fit our budget and our quick turn around escrow closed without the slightest bump. We moved into our new home this week! Now, like our realtor, we too highly recommend Regan Hagestad to anyone.

Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasnt had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that Ive gained the trust and respect of my clients. In todays market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal. Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.

WRITTEN By Q ui n n Rob e rts
When Blake Andrews went on his first giving trip to Nicaragua in 2011 while working for TOMS Shoes, he immediately felt a connection to the country and its people.
giv
You see so many things people need when you travel, Andrews said. Seeing what a pair of shoes did for those people, I began to think what it was like if you could build a home for them.
veback
That idea continued to stick with him as he and wife Tricia bought a home Knowing Ive helped five families sleep better in life makes me more excited in Manhattan Beach earlier this year with the help of South Bay Brokers realtor Nick Schneider. Out of curiosity, Andrews asked Schneider if he donated a portion of about selling real estate. It lights a fire under me. With most people throughout Nicaragua living in homes made of rusted metals and tarps, the new homes are made of sturdier materials like brick and tin. They cost only $2,500 and take under two weeks to build. his commission to charity. While Schneider said he contributed money to local charities, he never knew exactly where the money went. Thats when a for Giveback Homes. lightbulb went off in Andrews head that helped him come up with the idea You walk through a 15,000 square foot home, and the buyer is complaining theres a Viking instead of a La Cornue stove. I know every agent who experiences this scenario is thinking lady, you ought to see some places where they dont Dedicated to creating a sustainable relationship between real estate even have stoves to cook on, said Candy Evans, who will become a vital part of Giveback Homes and was named 2013 Blogger of the Year by the National Association of Real Estate Editors. professionals and communities in need throughout the world, Giveback Homes goal is to create social change through the act of buying and selling a home. So many people want to give back, but dont know how or where the money Realtors love to be agents of social change, and Blakes concept is the easiest, goes, said Schneider, who is the first official Giveback Homes realtor. With this, you know 100 percent of the money goes to the field and building these homes. most innovative way for agents to make an immediate difference in the lives of some very needy people. Realtors can donate any amount of money from the commissions they make. Giveback Homes, along with building partners Habitat for Humanity and The more homes Giveback Homes realtors sell in the United States, the more homes can be built abroad. Its a model Giveback Homes likes to call, This home built a home. The project officially launched August 1, with Andrews receiving interest from realtors in the South Bay and states as far as Texas, Florida and New York. With the money that Schneider donated, two homes were built this spring and three more are set to be finished in the coming weeks. The first two homes were built in Pompalone, while the others are being built in Astillero. You build these people homes and it is going to change their lives for generations. We are changing the life and culture of where these people live, Schneider said. For more info on Giveback Homes, visit: www.givebackhomes.com Waves of Love, help employ members of the community to build the homes, provide training for proper home maintenance and source materials locally to help boost the local economy. Simply put, the more homes that are built, the more jobs are created in each community. And while Giveback Homes is just in Nicaragua right now, Andrews wants to expand throughout Latin America, hoping to have thousands of homes built there in the next few years. This will give realtors fulfillment in what they are doing, Schneider said. It is amazing what it has done for me in just a short amount of time.

Fedro chair
perfect for summer
WRITTEN By Quinn Roberts
Like many mothers, designer Lorenza Bozzoli would consistently come home from work and find her son in front of the television. However, in an interesting twist, hed be there sitting on the seat of an old chair with its legs removed. After seeing that same image countless times, Bozzoli had a thought. What if she created a floor rocker that was lightweight, portable and could be used anywhere in the home? Enter DEDONs Fedro chair, which the company began selling in November 2012. Named after her son, Bozzoli created a design that provides optimum comfort and little stress on the body. It balances on two narrow skids and allows anyone to rock back and forth, using their legs and feet to control the movement. A handle on the back of the chair makes it especially easy to carry and an attached cushion for the head makes it quite comfortable. It was very important to find just the right ergonomics for the chair, Bozzoli said. The great thing about Fedro is that it fits in poolside, on the beach, in the grass, on a city patio and anywhere indoors. For more info, visit: www.dedon.us Born and raised in Milan, Bozzoli began her career as a fashion designer, before falling in love with industrial design. Her background can especially be seen in the three vibrant color options for the Fedro chair. Those choices include: flamingo, colibri and quetzal, which are all based on tropical birds from Latin America. Because of its bright colors and the ability to move the chair indoors or outdoors, it really is the perfect summer chair, Bozzoli said. The chairs fiber is made in DEDONs headquarters in Germany, before the piece, which costs $715, is hand-woven with high-density polyethylene in the Philippines. Getting interest in the chair from across the globe, Bozzoli believes it has universal appeal and is ideal for smaller spaces. Designing a product is about designing a state of well-being, Bozzoli said. The secret lies in the love with which these objects are created.
