I took the survival class and it was long, but fun. In 100 degree summer heat we hiked about 4 miles total. We made an emergency shelter, built fires thru all methods, ate wild food, wove leaves, and "made" soap. I wish they gave out certificates it was such an accomplishment for me. I am looking to take another fun excursion or two from them! Chris is nice, smart, helpful, and an expert.

My second time here at Occidental College. This time it was for my niece's high school…read moregraduation... Class of 2025. Street parking nearby this college was all taken up so I had to park a bit further which wasn't too bad actually. It still took me about 10 mins to walk in. This time around I took a short cut by walking through the campus than walking around the campus like last time to get to the amphitheater where the graduation took place. By doing so, I got a chance to see a bit more of the campus. It's quite serene and quiet. This college was built on a hill for sure. Lots of uphill. If there's uphill, then there is downhill. It all balances out. I don't know if I'll be returning to this college any time soon since both my younger brother's kids have graduated from high school. Nevertheless, I was able to capture some new photos from my recent visit. Enjoy them! I am very proud of my niece for her accomplishments. I wish her all the very best in her next chapters in life. Go have more fun adventures!

Happened upon this hidden oasis today at the Eagle Rock Block Party. Hubby and I didn't know what…read moreto expect. Was it a restaurant, a store? From what we read on the Eagle Rock event we just knew they were serving drinks an appetizers. Since we were hungry and done shopping we made this our final pit stop. We had trouble finding the place, hidden and off set from the road we discovered we walked by it twice. Luckily the Yelp table was out front and I reasoned we must be near the restaurant. We just sort of showed up expecting to stay 15 minutes and ended up staying 3 hours! We were immediately greeted by a lady who got us drinks and welcomed by a chef, whom we learned was an owner. The atmosphere was very zen and chill. The private area looked exactly how I would want my backyard kitchen to look. With a big wood fire oven, a big bar with bar stools and a lot of friendly people to talk to. It took us a while to figure out what this place was, but after tasting sample after sample of delicious food we discovered it was a test kitchen. The owner/ chef sells ovens, bbqs, caters, teaches classes and is just a round about cool, chill guy, who shows his passion for cooking in his big smile. We were lucky to try (for free) eagle rock brew beer, ice tea, and a ton of wood fire food such as sausages, asparagus, all kinds of pizza slices, mozzarella bread, and the tastiest pulled pork sandwich! The food was heavenly. We meet a ton of great people sitting on the bar stools. Hubby and I have always wanted to build a wildfire oven in our backyard and here we stumble upon a place where that is there specialty. When we get around to it we will definitely be calling this place up as their hospitality during the block party was awesome!

While you may not be on the hunt for a wood-fired oven for your quaint Silver Lake studio, you most…read morecertainly are always on the prowl for unique, interesting places to keep in mind for those times when someone (or you) needs a suggestion for a place to host their special occasion. And Wildwood, my dear seeker of all things cool, is just that place. They specialize in custom-built wood fired ovens for the ballahs out there with disposable incomes to spend on items that increase property value instead of luxury soaps or clothes or protecting endangered species. They also have a very small selection of grilling accessories that are, as of this review, currently on sale (pizza stones, portable grills for camping, panini grillers, etc.). But, what really makes this place a 5-starer is the swank patio setup they have, complete with outdoor fireplace, bar, grill, and seating. They host private events from time to time and bang out some pretty stellar eats (I had a pulled pork sandwich and flatbread on my particular visit). It's a great way to spend a gorgeous fall day - just chillin' and grillin'. You can also contact them to host your private event which would pretty much make you the most remarkable and genius host ever. I don't know the costs involved or what's included, but I am pretty sure that whatever it does cost, it's totally worth it in the "that was the best get together I've ever been to." comments from guests.

They are very patient since my daughter is smaller in age and her attention span is short. Thank you to the staff for all of the help. I have noticed a major improvement on my daughters math and English skill. Keep up the great work!

We brought our son and thought this would be great. I know the Kumon method well and it's…read morewonderful;however, it's a franchise that really depends on who owns it. This place is run by a sweet older lady named Coco. She is sweet in that she is like a grandma, but she gives different information to each family regarding payment. A person never knows what she is going to charge or give as a deal. It is very over priced for the amount a child gets out of it. If a kid sticks with this method for 15 years the parents will have spent $64,800 that doesn't include the deposit. This type of thing needs to be less expensive. Especially since they start kids at a lower level so they can "brand them" into this method. The actual education does work, but only if the facility is honest and organized. This one in particular is not. Coco is overwhelmed easily as numerous kids come in. She relies on teenagers who have zero experience in the work force. One guy was a total jerk to my kid, teasing him saying he didn't do that work, when in fact he did as I saw him do it at the table in front of this punk kid. The teens also answer the phone as well as teach at the same time offering up chaos within the facility. It is over crowded and offers little hours except a few after school. It is currently summertime so why not open it up for summer hours? I mean we are paying $360 a month per child for two subjects. So, the least you can do is be open when people are available. Coco may have run this better years ago, but now it is a total disorganized mess.

SERIOUSLY DO NOT GO WITH THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!! At first I saw bad comment on Yelp but I ignored it…read moreand soon I regretted I had lessons with this instructor called Zoren and he teaches REALLY BAD!!! He kept saying little gas, more gas, no gas within the same 5 seconds, giving confusing signals, and blaming me adding gas while my foot was not even on the padel... He never actually looked at what ur doing but just arrogantly thinking he knows you the best. When you asked him what mistake you made and how to fix the problem, he never able to teach u the right way. Instead he'll just say, ' just take more lessons and you'll be better.' YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN NOTHING AFTER CLASS... and I really hated him kept saying he will bring me to good places around here, I was like 'I don't even care about the tourist spots I just want to learn how to drive. Who cares if the place is rich or no?' Appreciate him took me around but he's gone too over for real. One more thing is when we were on the street, the speed limit was like 35mph but he kept asking me to drive at 20 something... when I speed to around 30+ he'll start judging. But I knew the DMV is gonna fail you if you drive too slow... the fact that when I was having lessons with another driving school, the instructor told me I was driving too slow on a 35 street with just 27-29 speed but this Zoren always say I can't drive fast... I really got pissed by him because he said like he's the only one who knows how to drive in the entire world, really arrogant. The last lesson I told him I am not taking class with him anymore cause I'll change to another teaching school and he just told me I AM NOT GONNA PASS MY TEST CAUSE I DONT DRIVE WELL the fact turned out I passed my test with only three mistakes proves I drive okay even I start from zero. But the credit doesn't go to this driving school at all

Could have written a review a decade ago but dunno yelp that time. But Zoren deserves a good…read morereview. Not sure though if he's still there since it's been 10 years since I enrolled here. I enrolled to a different traffic school that year for months and was frustrated because ive been failing my actual driving test. I failed 3 times So my ex bf who is now my hubby enrolled me to a different traffic school nearby his apartment. He said he's one of the best.. Sooooo I met Zoren who was my driving instructor and only taught me for 2 hours before my actual driving test, he's so nice and funny because he's Armenian and knows how to speak a little bit of Tagalog. Anyway, after my session with him, he went with me and drove to Glendale DMV for my actual test, he's a bit popular there because driving examiners knows him. Lol! And I remember the examiner told me i was lucky that Zoren was my instructor. After my test, finally, i passed Thanks to Chase Driving School
