Boeing: From Driverless Cars To Pilotless Airliners


According to Reuters, futurists at the aircraft manufacturing HQ are looking to the future of air transportation. They claim they may soon be putting passenger planes into the sky without human pilots.

With small, controlled drones becoming common in the air, it’s only a matter of time before the drones grow in size until they can carry passengers. So, what could possibly go wrong?

West Hollywood CA: Hotel Where Chaplin Once Lived PDF Print E-mail


Since we relocated to the area five years ago, we’re just a few blocks away, but had never heard of this 90-year-old Hollywood hideaway hotel until recently. It’s not on the glamorous Sunset Strip, by trendy Malibu Beach nor in glitzy Beverly Hills. It’s on Sweetzer Avenue, a quiet residential lane in West Hollywood.

The Charlie, built in 1924 as a private residence, and lived in by the Little Tramp for several years, is actually a large English-style cottage, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It’s now a luxury, all-suite hotel, with private parking within its entrance gate.

Suites have full kitchens and other luxury amenities, and each is titled with the name of a Hollywood immortal. They include Charlie, Clark, Dylan, Gloria, Gregory, Valentino, Marilyn, Marlene and others.

The pet-friendly hotel, just a few city blocks from the Sunset Strip, with prices from $270, is at 819 N. Sweetzer Av., West Hollywood CA 90069. For booking and other info, go to www.thecharliehotel.com
