SoCal Housing Market Check-In: Hot Start To The Year Leads Buyers To Tap Out This Summer
After a surging market at the start of the year, the cost of buying a home has now reached too high of a cost for many Southern Californians, pricing lots of folks out of the market completely. This cooling down trend began since the start of the summer and hasn’t improved since. And rising interest rates pose an additional challenge, even for those who have had extra money to spend during the pandemic.
Today on AirTalk we’ll be talking about the current state of the housing market for buyers and sellers with Logan Mohtashami, lead analyst for the real estate news site HousingWire, and Toni Carter, a Los Angeles-based realtor.
Pastrami On Rye & A Side Of History: Skirball’s “I’ll Have What She’s Having” Exhibit Celebrates The Jewish Deli
Good luck visiting this exhibit and not leaving hungry for corned beef on rye or some homemade latkes.
The Skirball Center’s ongoing exhibition “I’ll Have What She’s Having:” The Jewish Deli explores the history of these beloved gathering places and looks at how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Eastern and Central Europe, came to America with their own food traditions and customs that they turned into an iconic American restaurant -- the Jewish deli. And while many will think of New York first (and rightfully so, it is the birthplace of the Jewish deli), places like Canter’s Deli in Fairfax, Art’s in Studio City, Langer’s in Pasadena and Wexler’s at Grand Central Market in downtown have made the Jewish deli a staple in Southern California.
Today on AirTalk, we’ll talk to Skirball Associate Curators Cate Thurston and Laura Mart, who are co-curating the exhibit, as well as Canter’s Deli Owner Marc Canter, which has been in operation in Los Angeles since 1931.
