"The Source" - A New Movie With Ties To Los Feliz

The Source of Los Feliz

Forty-one years ago Los Feliz was home to the hippie cult, The Source Family. That’s name of a new documentary by Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille.

The Source Family was founded by Jim Baker, a World War II hero from Cincinnati who ended up being called Father Yod. 

They not only lived in Los Feliz, but also had a health food restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, which is now Cabo Catina. 

They were typical hippies; they meditated, practiced yoga, had names like Sunflower and practiced free love.

Their first home here was the Chandler Georgian-style mansion. They called it the Mother House. Not surprisingly the Chandlers did not renew Father Yod’s lease after a year.

 They did not go far. They were able to move to Nichols Canyon in a house built by Catherine Deneuve. Though it was closer to the restaurant, which was nice, it was also only a three bedroom home and they had 140 people living there.  

You can find the film on iTunes. It opened on Friday, May 17th at the Sundance Sunset Cinema in Los Angeles, CA. You can buy the DVD for $16.98 only with other items at http://www.thesourcedoc.com/. 

Kate Walsh Relists Her Fabulous Los Feliz Spanish Home

$800 per Square Foot in Los Feliz; Kate Walsh has a Home for You. 

Recently, Kate Walsh relisted her 6,000 square foot Loz Feliz mansion for $4.75 million. 

Located just north of Los Feliz Boulevard, when you enter this Spanish-style property you will be greeted by beautiful landscaping and an elegant water fountain. 

The entryway is elegant with sweeping stairs that lead to the second floor that has beautiful tile work. 

The kitchen is spacious and modern with an island, as well as an area of the countertop that you can place stools for friends to sit on to visit while you are entertaining. 

The master bedroom has a fireplace. One of the other bedrooms has been converted into a walk-in closet. 

The family room has decorative ceiling beams and French doors that open out to .31 acres. 

There are two inviting patio spaces, one of which offers an outdoor fireplace. Also on the grounds there is a three-bedroom guesthouse with 2 offices and a Pilates studio. 

Just give me a call if you are interested in walking through and put in an offer. But hurry, at this price, this home won’t be on the market long

Los Feliz Living Gets the Real Dirt about Minnie Driver's "Mystery Man"

I like to know my town.  I think it's my BUSINESS to know my town, so in an effort to keep you all informed as well, I tried to cover a lot of different ground.

​Sometimes that includes celebrity gossip because let's face it, this is Los Feliz and a lot of celebrities live around here.  

One of the top celebrity sitings of the week around here was Minnie Driver being seen out several times with a "mystery man" - we picked up the story from the daily mail here, then tweeted it out like we always do.

​Cut to Minnie herself (who looks as gorgeous as ever) picking up on our tweeter post and setting the record straight.  

​Glad we could help set the record straight.  All in a day's work.  :)
