Plan

A city park on the crest of Olive Hill with Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House at the top and a west lawn that looks across to Griffith Park and the hills. It is free to walk up and sit down. In summer the park runs Friday evenings on the lawn with wine and food trucks.

Park daily 6am to 10pm and free. Hollyhock House tours Thursday to Saturday 11am to 4pm, last entry 3:30pm

Billy Shire's family opened Soap Plant in 1971 selling handmade soap and their own ceramics, and it has grown into 6,500 square feet of books, toys and things nobody else stocks. La Luz de Jesus, the gallery upstairs, opened in 1986 and is where the lowbrow art movement got its footing. Openings are the first Friday of the month.

Daily. Check the shop's own page for current opening and closing times
