The image shows a faux-brick street, not cobblestone.
However, for a legit brick paved street, you could always go the route of the amazing brick-laying machine: http://inhabitat.com/amazing-brick-machine-rolls-out-roads-like-carpet/

"I LOVE amenities!!" (and Park & Rec).

I love BA. I lived there for a few months, studying architecture in grad school. My list of must see's: Museo Xul Solar, amazing design shops in Palermo "Hollywood" including a gorgeous Puma Store-slash-bar, Calatrava's Puente de la Mujer, the opera house, and Pasaje Barolo which was designed as an allegory to Dante's Divine Comedy. The building is exactly 100 meters tall and has mutiple tiers that correspond to the levels of hell, purgatory and paradise described in Dante's work.

"The 405 - bougie traffic; the 110 - that's gangsta traffic". love this.

Great article and pics about Ashcroft in the NYTimes the other week too: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/20/garden/eve-ashcraft-the-paint-doctor-is-in.html

Aniston has one "n". Lady has some good taste in real estate.

Wabi sabi is a Japanese aesthetic of simplicity, beauty, etc. It roughly translates to "keep it simple, stupid".

I'll respect my roll by placing it in the cabinet with the other 2 or 3 spare ones.

I have another category that falls before "donate" which is "sell". There are a few decent options in LA - Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads (among others) where you can sell pieces for either cash or store credit. They tend to buy pieces that are still fashionable so if you're willing to part with clothes that are fairly trendy, you can walk away with some extra spending cash. Any items they don't buy, I put in the donate bin.
