Pok-a-Dots got its start in 1984 selling vintage clothing. But this family-owned business had a knack for finding creative costumes that kept customers coming back every Halloween. Over time, their costumes eclipsed their vintage threads until they were counted among the various quality Halloween costume shops in the Greater Los Angeles area. They leaned into their strengths, providing costumes for rental or purchase that satisfy virtually any price point. Supported by their comprehensive selection of make-up and accessories, Pok-a-Dots is the go-to costume spot if you’re out in the Arcadia direction!

If you’re serious about Halloween, then Valentinos Costume Group may be more your speed than the other Halloween costume shops on our list. An official Union signatory costume house, their period-specific apparel has appeared in a number of film, television, and theatrical productions. But due to the complexity of their costumes, Valentinos deals almost exclusively in rentals. If you’re looking to put some money and creativity into a costume that leaves an impression, give them a call at (818) 691-3024 to schedule an appointment!

5) Hollywood Toys & Costumes: Among the Most Famous Halloween Costume Shops in LA

Easily one of the most recognizable Halloween costume shops in Hollywood, the aptly named Hollywood Toys & Costumes can be found right along the world-famous Walk of Fame. It opened its doors in 1950, making it one of the city’s longest-running costume shops as well! Needless to say, it’s stacked up a multitude of awards and accolades over the years. Their selection of costumes, masks, wigs, accessories, cosmetics, and more make it worth battling through the ever-present cloud of tourists. As a bonus, Hollywood Toys & Costumes absorbed much of the inventory and staff of the Hollywood Magic Shop when it closed in 2010. So, if you’re looking to put a little bit of abracadabra into your apparel, this is the place.

Are You Using Your Green Trash Bin? Who’s Actually Following LA’s Composting Law?

  We know we’ve got nothing but law-abiding citizens reading the JohnHart blog… riiiight? Well, what about the laws you don’t know about? Now, before you get defensive, hear us out: who here actually knows (and follows) LA’s composting law? You know, the reason you have that green trash bin? It’s not just for yard waste if that’s what you’re thinking. As of 2023, Angelenos have been required by law to compost their “green waste”; basically food scraps, yard waste, and the like. Just to clarify, this law applies to the city of Los Angeles. Other municipalities (and the state as a whole) have their own composting laws. In fact, California was the second state (after Vermont) to pass such a law. Now, let’s take a closer look at the city of LA’s green waste law if, for no other reason, than it could save you from a hefty fine!  Ever Heard of Organics LA? Perhaps Organics LA could use a marketing push. That’s the name of a program meant to prioritize the collectio...

The Rancho Palos Verdes Landslides Are a Horror 250,000 Years in the Making

  Featured image credit: Dave Proffer We’ve all heard horror stories of homeownership woe. A flooding upstairs bathroom crashing down into a home’s lower level. The spark of electrical wiring burning down a dream. Unseen black mold contaminating everything it touches. But you’ve heard of nothing quite like what’s happening right now in the coastal community of Rancho Palos Verdes. Once a bastion of multi-million dollar seaside properties, heightened landslide activity means Rancho Palos Verdes is threatening to slide away. Southern California Edison (SCE) is cutting power… in some cases, indefinitely. Los Angeles is throwing money at the problem. And Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency. As residents continue to dig in and fight for their beachfront homes, the awkward question remains: when do we declare Rancho Palos Verdes uninhabitable?  Not Exactly a Recent Problem Photo credit: Lizzie McVeigh The volatility of Rancho Palos Verdes’s land i...

Entering the Historic Harris House is Easy. But Leaving? That’s Another Story.

  In our line of service, we meet people every day chasing their dreams of homeownership. And often, those dreams aren’t very exacting. A surprising amount of people are in the market for four walls and a roof… anything else is icing on the cake. And there’s nothing wrong with that! But Glendale’s historic Harris House, which just hit the market, is a home for the discerning dreamers. Its gabled roof is held aloft by possibility and history; a home that considers tomorrow through the lens of countless yesterdays. Not quite Victorian, not quite Craftsman, it’s a quixotic structure too grandly unique to belong to any one time. In short, it’s a home for someone who doesn’t see a place but an entity; a being with brick bones and redwood blood that’s held true despite the world changing around it; a sanctuary unbowed by the ages.    The Feminine History of the Historic Harris House Built in 1902, the Harris House is one of the oldest homes in Glendale...
