For reasons known only to the Internet gods, an LA Observed post from 2005 peeking into the backyard of the Playboy mansion has suddenly started getting hits again. More than 2,000 visits this month. Weird. Or not: a post from 2003 that mentioned the Charing Cross Road street address of the mansion in Holmby Hills has always gotten hits and for a long while showed up on the list of most-trafficed LAO posts each month. Neighbors, meanwhile, don't care for the place.
