Research In the Hills and the Valleys

In LA area this week researching my 1928 novel. Visits to Pomona and Pasadena with trips to Palm Springs and the San Gabriel Mts. Played the ponies at Santa Anita, and won enough to cover all the betting.  Works for me!  The track was featured in the HBO series Luck which I loved. A few goofs with restaurants,  but nothing awful. Some serendipitous finds in Pasadena like Russells, and Aux Delices Bakery. Oh yum!  Off to an art museum (Bowers)  tomorrow with an exhibit of "En plein air" painters of the Twenties.
