Venice Real Estate: Big Lebowski House at 606 Venezia

606 Venezia, which was used as a location in the film The Big Lebowski, has sold below asking a year after being put on market.

From Adrian Glick Kudler at LA Curbed:
“The Dude” Lebowski’s bungalow court (from, duh, The Big Lebowski) has just sold after more than a year on the market. The Venice property has six one-bedroom units, all with side yards and garage parking, and it provided exteriors for The Dude’s place (which had a rug that really tied the room together) in the 1998 film (interiors were shot on a soundstage in West Hollywood). The court went on the market last June asking $2.295 million and suffered several false starts–four total “sale pending”s, according to Redfin–and just closed escrow yesterday at $1.59 million.

NASA to Fly T-38 and F-18 Fighter Jets 1,500 Feet Above LA on Saturday

Hey, we're getting a shuttle!


NASA to Fly T-38 and F-18 Fighter Jets 1,500 Feet Above LA on Saturday

NASA, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, will conduct training and photographic flights over the Los Angeles area on Saturday, Aug. 25.

Two NASA jets, a T-38 and an F-18, will fly approximately 1,500 feet above Los Angeles starting at 8 a.m. PDT. If delayed by weather or other circumstances, the jets will fly at 12:30 p.m. These flights are intended to capture photographic imagery.

The training flights are being made to determine the best flight path for the Boeing 747 carrier plane that will carry Space Shuttle Endeavour to LAX (weather permitting) on September 20th. The carrier plane requires a low approach path, with trees being “topped” in Inglewood just for the approach. From LAX, the shuttle will travel via truck to its final resting place at the Science Center in Exposition Park.
If the flights must be canceled for any reason, they will be rescheduled and an additional notice will be released.
