Mid City Big Life Covering Mid City, West Adams, Jefferson Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Run by real estate But this blog is about so much more than real estate. Tom

Mid City Big Life is a blog dedicated to covering Mid City, West Adams, Jefferson Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. It is run by real estate agent, Tom Lind, and his wife, Karlyn Nelson, who is the editor in chief. They currently live in LA’s Jefferson Park neighborhood and previously resided in Mid City. This blog is for anyone who loves exploring these neighborhoods, including new restaura

nts, shops and new development, while meeting the awesome people who live here. A NOTE FROM TOM LIND

As a real estate agent, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in each and every neighborhood the greater Los Angeles area has to offer. Of course, there are the major players like Beverly Hills, Hancock Park, Burbank, and Malibu that people across the country know. But in 2012, my wife and I stumbled upon this amazing area called Mid City. Driving through the streets, we fell in love with the melting pot of cultures and decided to call Mid City home. In 2015, we moved just down the 10 freeway to Jefferson Park and have immersed ourselves in this area. Because I like to sell what I know, I have dedicated myself to providing real estate services in the neighborhoods I love. It is a celebration of the people, culture, restaurants and entertainment of LA’s Mid City, West Adams, Jefferson Park and surrounding neighborhoods. A place where the community can come together to honor the amazing people who live, work and play here and where Angelenos can learn what makes these neighborhoods such a spectacular place to live. We hope you enjoy our blog.

Happy 47th, Tom! Six birthdays without you. Seems like you were just with us, yet a lifetime ago, all at once. Theo and I call these days LOVE DAYS. They're the days like birthdays, anniversaries, death anniversaries, Father's Day, where we'd normally be celebrating, but the sadness has a way of creeping in. So on these days, we LOVE, and we LOVE hard.

Last year, we started a new tradition, and we're going to keep it going! If you can, please live like Tom today! Order two entrees for breakfast, lunch or dinner; have a cheat day; eat some candy; pet (or adopt!) an animal; open a door for someone; pay for the person behind you in line; offer a sandwich to someone who may need one; play some good music really really loud--bonus points if it's Guns N Roses; go for a hike; head to the ocean or a lake; look extremely hot (😉); workout hard; pay it forward; and reach out to your friends.

If you can, please post a picture and tag us, comment or shoot us a DM with your “act of Tom,” so I can share them with Theo! He really loves this and loves seeing what everyone does. ♥️ We love you, Tommy Lind. And we hope this brings you a smile.

Theo and I are currently up in the middle of nowhere Canada with some of our best friends, which is a pretty perfect place to be today. We're currently strategizing our acts of Tom, so stay tuned...

When we decided to feature Farmhouse Kitchen in our 5th episode of Emmy-nominated TV show, The American Dream, we had no idea what a blast we’d have! Owner + Chef Kasem Saengsawang, lovingly known as Chef Pop, set out to create a Thai restaurant that was true to his roots and his family’s love of traditional Thai food. But he envisioned a space that was as bold as the fresh Thai flavors. A place where people felt at home. A place where people could have fun. And a place that would bring people together because food is often the connection between people. Farmhouse Kitchen is just that!

The West Adams location is a visual feast! And most of the ingredients are grown out back in the garden. From date nights to family gatherings, from drinks with friends to a work lunch, your senses will be satiated!

This is not your typical Thai food, and we love that! We hope you enjoy this episode as we find out more about Chef Pop’s love of food and deep passion for creating delicious twists on his childhood favorites. His goal? To make good food with good heart!

Welcome Home Set – Lobster, Oysters, Wagyu Num Tok Rolls, Tiger Prawns, Scallop, Ahi Scoops, Oxtail, Tri-colored rice + More
Dungeness Crab Pad Thai – Jumbo Crab Meat, Thin Rice Noodles, Egg, Bean Sprouts, Chive, Shallot, Peanuts and Thai Seafood Sauce
Volcano Cup – Cup O’ Noodles like you’ve never tasted topped with braised short rib
Meow Mule – Sabe Vodka, Spicy Ginger, Lime
Lod Chong – Pina Colada, Sake rum, Pandan Cordial, Coconut Cream, Lime

Check it out in time for Thai New Year in April! Chon!

Taqueria Los Anaya has been a go-to restaurant for family gatherings and dinners with friends in West Adams since its opening in March 2012.

We were thrilled to interview the Anaya brothers for Emmy-nominated show, The American Dream, and talk about their (extended) family business, while also diving into their amazing family recipes. If you haven't eaten there, head in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, takeout or catering. Truly the best around! And they even let us hop in the kitchen to try our hand at making their fresh tortillas. A dream come true!

Once we were well fed, we popped over to our stunning listing at 3048 S. Victoria, also in West Adams. Properties like this are truly special. Every inch was painstakingly designed with an eye towards elegance and function. Kudos to designer .lea.shain for this exquisite example of how to tackle a renovation.

Where should we go next? Comment below!
