Toluca Lake Magazine Issue Archive

March/April 2018

March/April 2018

As we look forward to the annual Toluca Lake Earth Day festival and Taste of Toluca, one of the neighborhood’s signature annual events, our Green Issue celebrates all things fresh, seasonal and eco-conscious. In the cover story, environmental advocates and longtime area residents Ed Begley Jr. and Rachelle Carson-Begley share how they built “the greenest home in America,” and how everyone can take steps toward an earth-friendly lifestyle. In addition to easy and stylish ways to save energy at home, we bring you healthy green-eating tips from a local nutritionist and a wealth of sustainable shopping options — from pioneering organic market Full O’ Life to the Magnolia Park green district to Toluca Lake’s own Discovery Shop. And while we’re talking vintage clothing, we’ve also got a historical feature chronicling how classic cinematic costumer Adrian made Toluca Lake his home in the 1930s.
