    the view of the reservoir
    Jennifer F.

    So apparently Mulholland Drive has more than 7 overlooks. The eastern side has approximately 12 overlooks. I have witnessed 8. Some aren't that appealing while others have breath taking views. Stone Canyon has two viewing sides. Just beyond the parking lot is the view of Stone Canyon's reservoir. If you follow the stone pathway to the back, you can see view #2. I believe where the road widens is Beverly Glen Blvd. I can't figure what other road it would be. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. It was nice, this isn't my favorite. I wasn't happy when I saw in n' out cups on the ground. I still can't believe the residential street nearby had this reservoir as a backyard view.

    I love cruisin' Mulholland on a clear day It's one of my fave things to do in LA This spot provides a pretty nice view of the reservoir http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/M-LxwvERvpjXg6NmxthznA?select=FjmpOp-kQEYA5c450EEXbw If they cleared away some brush, you'd see even more But don't be up there lighting a cig Or you might end up doin' a stint in the brig At the very least, it's a hefty fine $541 bucks, as posted on the sign I wonder why 541 and not....say.....550 Either way, it's not a deal that's thrifty So now that you know about the taboos Don't smoke there, just enjoy the great views

    Nice day! Chk out my view and its warm and breezy 4/19/12

    I'm in this area a lot. We walk from the bottom of Nicada and beverly glen and walk up to the look out on Mulholland. There isn't much here. A little walking path and then a place to sit and check out the veiw. You can see the local reservoir and all the green around. I usually bring my pooch and so do others. A nice, chill, quiet spot if you need a break from the busy city life. Its not a big deal though, so don't need to make a special trip just to see this.

I toured Greystone as part of the Sword Experience led by Adrian Paul, and let me tell you--learning blade work on the grounds of one of the most infamous estates in Beverly Hills hits differently. There's something poetic about practicing controlled violence on land once shaped by very uncontrolled wealth. A little history, because this place doesn't whisper--it broods. Greystone was built in 1928 for the Doheny family, oil dynasty royalty. Think: early 20th-century American excess, but make it Tudor Revival and drop it on a manicured hill above Sunset. The house is enormous. 55 rooms. Limestone imported from Indiana. Details that scream, "We had oil money and zero chill." And then, of course, the tragedy. Ned Doheny Jr. was found dead inside the mansion only months after moving in. Official story: murder-suicide involving his secretary. Unofficial story: Los Angeles in the 1920s was a cocktail of scandal, politics, oil contracts, and secrets thick enough to butter toast with. The house was barely broken in before it became legend. So yes--training with swords on those grounds feels cinematic. Because it is. Adrian Paul doesn't just walk you around; he contextualizes movement, presence, and discipline in a space already heavy with narrative. You're not just touring a mansion. You're standing in a monument to ambition, downfall, and architectural flexing. Greystone has since been used in everything from classic films to modern blockbusters. If it looks familiar, it's because Hollywood has been borrowing its drama for decades. It's a location scout's fever dream. The gardens are immaculate. The interiors are grand without being tacky. It's the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice--even if you don't believe in ghosts, you respect the acoustics. Los Angeles loves shiny new money. Greystone is old money with a body count. And yet, it's beautiful. Stunning, actually. The kind of estate that makes you question your life choices while also appreciating the craftsmanship of a bygone era when wealth was expressed in stone and timber instead of Instagram posts. Walking those grounds with a sword in hand, guided by someone who understands myth and movement, feels like stepping into layered history--cinema, tragedy, power, and discipline colliding under California sun.

It's a super inclusive playground with a diverse group of patrons as well. The bad: The parking lot had some cars that looked like people were living out of their car. There was a pee stench at the entrance. Toward the toddler area there was a guy smoking weed. The interesting: It has a LA theme with references to the observatory, freeway and more.
