Dominguez Rancho\, which encompasses much of present day cities of Torran

os Angeles. This was the first Spanish land grant in CA from King Carlos o

1920s\, Patrick Watson & his wife\, Miss Mamie O’Farrell of San Francisco\
, were looking to move off of the original Rancho property and decided to
build a new home for themselves in the fashionable and developing area of
Hancock Park.\nPatrick hired the notable Architectural firm of Hunt & Burn
s to design his new family estate on a large double access lot located on
a prominent corner in the new district of Hancock Park. During their tenu
re together\, Sumner P. Hunt and Silas R. Burns built some of the most bea
utiful buildings in the Los Angeles area including: Automobile Club of So

ion for building some of the grandest homes and public buildings in Los An

Johnson\nPlease join us WEDNESDAY August 25th\, 7:00 PM\n\n\n\nIt’s 1938
and women seeking a quick\, no-questions split from their husbands head to
the “divorce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: th
ey have to wait six weeks to become “residents.” Many of these wealthy\, s
oon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to
their every need.\nTwenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale befor
e his family lost everything in the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an
honest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing
good looks—“Cary Grant in cowboy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying L
eap’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend every
thing he thinks he knows: Nina\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back
for her third divorce\, and Emily\, whose bravest moment in life was leav
ing her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno
.\nA novel about divorce\, marriage\, and everything that comes in between
(money\, class\, ambition\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a
hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship can save us\, l
ove can destroy us\, and the family we create can be stronger than the fam
ily we come from.

It’s 1938 and women seeking a quick\, no-questi
ons split from their husbands head to the “divorce capital of the world\,”
Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have to wait six weeks to become “
residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flyi
ng Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their every need.
\n
Twenty-fou
r-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything i
n the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an honest living as a ranch hand
at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing good looks—“Cary Grant in cow
boy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Leap’s clients all figured out.
But two new guests are about to upend everything he thinks he knows: Nina
\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back for her third divorce\, and E
mily\, whose bravest moment in life was leaving her cheating husband back
in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.
\n
A novel about divorc
e\, marriage\, and everything that comes in between (money\, class\, ambit
ion\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet
poignant examination of the ways friendship can save us\, love can destro
y us\, and the family we create can be stronger than the family we come fr
om.

BER 27TH\, 7:00 PM\n\n\n\nHaving been approached by many guests\, patrons\
, and employees over the years\, Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists wal
ked up to me and asked how they could get inside the mansion for the tour.
When I told them the interior is closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\,
because we saw a man in period clothing staring out the window and we tho
ught he was part of the tour.’” This marks just one encounter of 237 paran
ormal stories documented at Greystone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three ye
ars researching the supernatural activity at the estate. With 86 interview
s\, including guests of the park\, City staff\, police officers\, movie cr
ew personnel\, and janitorial services\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hil
ls promises you a riveting history and ghostly encounters. For more than t

. Along with rare photographs and intriguing details about the landscape a

cluding the fateful murder/suicide on the night of February 16\, 1929\, an
d other unfortunate deaths that surround these enigmatic grounds that may
have stoked the paranormal fire of activity. “People from all over the wor
