— Apparently there are still no takers for Lisa Vanderpump’s Villa Blanca space in Beverly Hills. The place has just been re-listed, and has dropped from $1.5 million to $695,000, with incentives for the right owner. Of course, there is still that gigantic rent of $12 per square foot…

— Plenty of local vendors and suppliers have been left in the lurch with the sudden shutter of Good Eggs in L.A.
