Barry R. Levin, Science Fiction & Fantasy Literature, Santa Monica

Barry Levin

has been selling science fiction and fantasy literature for quite some time. His shop is located in Santa Monica, and is chock a block FULL of wonderful, books. A friend of mine says, “His prices have too many zeroes in them.” which is a clue, they are not cheap; but they are beautiful!

Temple of self-realization, Pacific Palisades

When I was a little girl, there was a restaurant next door to this

called the “Santa Ynez Inn” (I think). It was very classy restaurant.

My dad and his lady friend (an actress) and I would eat brunch at the Santa Ynez Inn and then go over and walk around the Temple for Self-Realization.

Years later, to impress me, a guy took me to dinner at the inn. It did impress me, but he was VERY uncomfortable, although I wasn’t.

The last time I tried to go to the restaurant, it had been bought by the temple and is no longer in existence as a restaurant.

The temple is beautiful and nice to walk though, but I don’t remember much more about it other than the flamingos, ponds, and tropical plants!

I went to school here once upon a time...

back when it was CSCSB, a state college, rather than a university.
