LA Times House & Home Round-Up: 03/03/06

•Nouveau Brooklyn: Williamsburg is turning out the eco designs and the west coast is eating it up.

•A most fruitful bloom: We grew up picking blueberries in Maine, and now they've made their way to the west and work best in pots.

•Plant, prune, repot: March is planting time, folks!

•A rousing encore for the Eichlers: Although thought to be Futuristic in the '50s, these classic tract houses are gaining new respect as more buyers look to the old classic that morphs nicely into the new century.

•An Eichler fan? Join the club: Buying into the Eichler world brings other Eichler-philes out of the woodwork.

Can somebody tell me what store that is in the top pic?

Thanks.

The Eichler tract in Granada Hills is pretty amazing. Many of the houses have been de-modeled/de-renovated and restored. It's a hike from L.A. but well worth a trip, especially if the LA Conservancy's Modern Committe is hosting one of their Valley modern tours.
