Book Description
Los Angeles sprawled westward toward the sand and sea of Santa Monica Bay throughout the twentieth century as land-grant ranchos gave way to capitalists and promoters. Developers subdivided the coastal land into neighborhoods and communities: Santa Monica, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood, Venice, Ocean Park, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Marina del Rey. These became places known to the nation at large for movie stars, moguls and business tycoons; for Will Rogers, Henry Huntington and UCLA; and for estate homes, amusement piers and surfing beaches. Join Jan Loomis, a former West L.A. magazine publisher and historian, as she tells the stories behind how it all came to be West Los Angeles.

Book Description
The three young Leopold brothers, George, Peter, and Basil, traveled from Greece to Ellis Island to begin their American experience in the early 1900s, eventually finding their way to Savannah, Georgia, where they established a humble fruit and ice cream stand in 1919 that became a cornerstone of the community, and later an iconic venue in the heart of an international destination.Leopold's Ice Cream, founded on integrity, hard work, and commitment to the community, has defined memories for locals and visitors for decades with a genuine commitment to excellence and hospitality. Peter Leopold's youngest son, Stratton, who worked in the family business since the age of ten, harnessed his family's values and traditions to forge his own successful path in the film industry for more than forty years. Today, Stratton and his wife, Mary, continue to honor the family legacy, serving the renowned, one-hundred-year-old artisan ice cream recipes in a classic soda fountain setting to visitors from around the world, and shipping pints to customers across the country. This book lovingly captures a glimpse of Leopold's Ice Cream over the last century, as family and guests vividly bring to life its history with personal memories, letters, photos, and recipes. Praise for Leopold's Ice Cream"Though Stratton ventured to Hollywood to become a successful film producer for more than four decades, traveling to far reaches of the world, he never forgot his roots. . . The Leopold's story is the embodiment of the American Dream across two generations. I salute Leopold's Ice Cream in its centennial year and look forward to the next home delivery of my favorite butter pecan ice cream!" -President Jimmy Carter"Leopold's is by far the best place to get ice cream in the heart of Savannah." -Ben Affleck, Academy Award?-winning actor, director, producer, and screenwriter "Leopold's is simply the most delicious temptation." -Helen Mirren, Academy Award?-winning actress "Leopold's-it's the best ice cream ever." -Taylor Hackford, Academy Award?-winning film director
