What follows are a few highlights from the history of one of the most famous streets in the world.
1906: Burton E. Grant and other investors buy land on the former Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas. The land will become Beverly Hills, and the city's main street is named ... Rodeo Drive. It eventually develops into and remains a fairly quiet suburban street with beauty shops, hardware stores, gas stations and bookstores for several decades.
Earlier this week, respected New York Times fashion journalist Cathy Horyn called attention to one of the biggest criticisms that comes around every New York Fashion Week: the lack of originality. The critic wrote:
In this week's issue of Huffington, we get philosophical: Are people still discussing "the big questions" about love, life and success the way they did in college? Or have these conversations waned in a world of technology-driven individualism? Elsewhere in the issue, a New York farmer reflects beautifully on how killing for a living has haunted him, while we offer ways changing your breathing can change your life. On the lighter side, we examine the exaltation of Google Glass in the pages of Vogue, put together a vegan dinner party, and much more.
