Thanks you guys! Muriel gave me one of her special art cards and Jo and Alan made the card with the faces drawn by a grandchild and wrote a poem so sweet it made me blush.
République is one of those LA icons that remains a joy all these years later. Pictures and quote from their website: “originally erected in 1929 by Charlie Chaplin, and later transformed into the iconic La Brea Bakery and Campanile Restaurant. République builds on this storied past, offering a gastronomic environment imbued with history and grandeur.” The breakfast/brunch/lunch/bakery is still getting rave reviews although some have said that dinner is slipping. I don’t know, never having had dinner there.

I’m going to keep trying to improve selfie-world!
