This year, the Colorado Street Bridge Celebration was a little different. It ran for a whole week, with an event each day. Due to the nature of the event, the Classic Car Cruise was safe enough to take place, as everyone stayed in their vehicles and practiced social distancing. And, of course, this was an event the Little Beast was not going to miss! If you missed it, or would love to...

A little over a year ago, we told you about our Little Beast's very famous twin, a 1964 International Harvester Metro van used by the band Aerosmith back in the 70s, during their early ages. American Pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz purchased the van for $25,000 in order to restore it amd bring it to a running condition, all while preserving the Aerosmith artwork that decorated the side of the...

In the morning of Friday December 7th, 2018, as the Little Beast was on a mission to deliver canned food donations for KTLA's "Take 5 To Care" event at our local Stater Bros in Pasadena, it caught the eyes of a movie maker. They were in the process of filming "The Banker," a true story about the first two African American bankers in the United States. The film is set in the 1950's, and it's about...

The Little Beast had a fun day out last Saturday at the Northeast Los Angeles car show, Arroyo Roundup.

The free, fun-filled, family community festival took place in Atwater Village, on the northbound side of Glendale Blvd, between Seneca and Brunswick Avenues, and it had food and...

Deep in the woods of Chesterfield, Massachusetts, American Pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, found an old, beat-up 1964 International Harvester Metro van covered in rust. With the help of his son, the owner of the van, Phil, recovered it from under some dirt and it had remained on trailer ever since. Phil was unsure of it's value, but knew the cartoon and the name Aerosmith painted on the side of the...

Yesterday Town Square joined in on the fun of the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk. We had our "Little Beast" van parked on 426 South Spring Street for people in the area to enjoy. We enjoyed checking out all of the local art work at the galleries around the area and had a blast meeting everyone who stopped by our van. There was a ton of great art in the exhibits and many places to get a bite to eat and...

We affectionately call our latest marketing adventure "Little Beast".  In reality, it's a 1952 International Harvester Metro Van.  It's journey to Pasadena and Town Square Real Estate began in Las Cruces, New Mexico where it served as a utility vehicle with a plumbing and then most recently a furniture company.  After being shipped to California in May 2014, we began the paint and interior restoration...
