      Google was flawlessly accommodating to me. I haven't even watched the video yet, and "fleurs et sel" took me straight to that exact location.
      I don't live in Los Angeles, but did instantly know that that's where I'd have to be to visit her establishment.

This is propaganda, the cities have people paying $4000 for a one bedroom apartment, no universal healthcare, the highest black woman maternal death rate and 1 woman had a successful cookie business and the horror of the average citizen is wiped away?
