Un-malled Chocolate --SEE'S?
Think you have to get malled to get chocolate? I wouldn't wish Glendale Gal. --any mall, on anyone, any time, but holidays even grimmer -that long manipulative walking past un-wanted stores. Little-known: you can get See's downtown LA, but also little-known --to See's headquarters just across town --ask for phone #? -- 'Nope, No such thing' --ya, right. See's: 1, 2lb boxes -pre-wrapped only, but good variety, e.g., all dark, all nuts. Find here
685 S. Figueroa x West 7th Street, phone: (213) 689-8822 -623-3179
--all year --then put something in the pot for someone else: Salvation Army
I SO miss the Los Feliz store, remember? It Went --during Barnsdall-bank remodel. We need to get a petition going: get a See's store in Sunset Junction. --I asked, they said: if they got Enough signatures they would consider -scout location. Maybe: a November-December pop-up, at least. Who will start a petition/sign-up sheet in their store? SL Chamber? --Realtor?


Itchy?
Skin itches? Best cream -salve -oimtment for that? None. Yes, skin is dry --dehydrated --remedy: drink water; within 1/2 hour: no itch.
