Arnold's Favorite Cigar Shop

The Tinder Box is the oldest tobacconist in Los Angeles.
They have no web-presence and I give these details:
2729 Wilshire Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90403-4795
(310) 828-4511

While I haven't seen Arnold buying his cigars there, there are pictures on the walls of many celebrities, from Bing Crosby to Bill Cosby. If you were wondering, The Hollywood Rounder smokes their Continental blend of pipe tobacco.

Ocean Avenue's Ghouls For Less




As I prepared to leave the Venice-Santa Monica beach scene, I chanced across this retail outlet. As stated on the door, admission was something like $100 (U.S.) and as I had left my wallet at the car, I didn't enter. None the less, I was able to snap this of the "front window". Enjoy.

After the Silver Strand

At long last, The Hollywood Rounder departed the Silver Strand and headed into Santa Monica. This is a photo of my best pal, standing in front of a restaurant with the same name as my friend. I thought it a cute trick. This is Ocean Avenue.
