Ever heard of Abbot Kinney?

He’s the person behind the street that’s the coolest block in America, according to GQ magazine.

This L.A. street was a favorite hangout of mine when I lived there. I don’t anymore — and miss this primo place to people-watch.

There’s always supposed to be lots of celebrities milling around. The closest I ever got to seeing any was when a movie crew took over my favorite place to get chocolate cake and I wasn’t allowed in. The movie was The Truth About Cats & Dogs with Uma Thurman and Janeane Garofalo.

There’s a whole lot that’s new. Take a walk with me in the latest issue of Going Places, Malaysia Airlines’ inflight mag.
