Molly was recommended by Kate Wertheimer, our senior associate editor: "I have this friend, Molly. She's incredibly smart and well-read, but also super down to earth. She's funny, witty and tells it like it is, and seems wise beyond her years (cliche, but it's true). Molly is a voracious consumer of all media (I've inherited some great books and records from her), an observant and easy-going traveler and an amazing barista—maybe you've seen her at Dinosaur Coffee on the weekends, where both her coworkers and customers constantly sing her praises. She's a patient and caring partner and friend, and also a hell of a lot of fun to have a beer (or three) with."
Here's Molly, in her own words:
What's at the top of your LA bucket list? Hiking up to the Mount Wilson Observatory on the old Mt. Wilson Toll Road.
What's your favorite neighborhood in LA? I'm currently loving the Sunset and Fountain intersection and surrounding blocks—there's a fantastic mix of established spots and new gems.
What are three must-have items you'd stash in your earthquake kit (aside from the necessities)? A hammock, a big novel and a camera.
Beach, mountains or desert? California desert, Idaho mountains, Washington coast.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? Otto Maddox because whatever he's doing is an adventure, but mostly because I want to investigate that alien situation.
FYF, Burning Man or LA Phil? I'd rather travel out to Pappy & Harriet's for a show out in the desert under the stars.
