THE MARK KITCHING REPORT
January 15, 2016
ICONIC PROPERTY OF THE MONTH
Why fly to Italy when we have The Getty Villa in our own backyard?  Architects Robert E. Langdon, Jr. and Ernest C. Wilson, Jr. based many of the Museum's architectural and landscaping details on elements from a first-century Roman country house known as the Villa dei Papiri, in Herculaneum, Italy. Other influences were drawn from ancient Roman homes in the towns of Pompeii and Stabiae. Today, the museum holds a collection of approximately 44,000 Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities.  The only thing missing is some pasta and vino!

TIP OF THE MONTH: The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it. 
WESTSIDE HAPPENINGS
It's time to clear your calendar; museums all over LA are throwing  their doors open for a day of free admission on Saturday, Jan 30th. Museums Free-for-All has partnered with Metro, encouraging visitors to Go Metro to explore the participating museums, many of which are a short walk away from Metro bus or rail. It's the perfect opportunity to knock a couple off your list, like the Japanese American National Museum, Natural History Museum, LACMA and more. Check out all participating museums here.

RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT
New to hit the Venice restaurant scene is Chef Josiah Citrin's, Charcoal, on Washington Blvd.   As the name would suggest, most of the dishes are cooked over a live fire either in the wood oven, over charcoal, or in oak and hickory lump coals. The main attractions: large, family-style plates of grilled meats like the half chicken salsa verde, dry aged porterhouse, and aged lamb leg! 


 
MONTHLY DOSE OF GOOD KARMA
I’m excited to announce that I have recently joined Giveback Homes:  a trusted network of real estate professionals dedicated to creating social change through buying and selling homes.  As a member of the organization, a portion of my sales will be going towards building homes for families in need. This March, I will be joining  Giveback Homes and Habitat for Humanity in Nicaragua for my first build project!
