Magnolia Park

Elizabeth Dowell greets the world with a calm presence, the kind that seems to slow everything down. At 27, she has already built nearly a decade-long career as a lash artist and holistic aesthetician in her hometown of Burbank. But what sets her apart isn’t just her technical skill — it’s the philosophy she brings to her work.

On a sunny afternoon in Burbank, the front door of The Green Man creaks open and the scent of sage, sandalwood, and something indefinably earthy drifts out. Inside, shelves glow with candles, herbs, crystals, and hand-blended oils.

Created and run by local volunteers, merchants, and residents, this night celebrates the independent spirit that makes Magnolia Park one of Los Angeles County’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods

Across the street from the Mystic Museum is another unique Magnolia Blvd. store. When you walk into Blast From the Past you’re immediately transported. Star Wars action figures line the walls. Classic movie posters compete with Freddy Krueger masks for attention.

When you step inside The Mystic Museum on Magnolia Boulevard, you’re not just shopping—you’re entering an immersive world of horror nostalgia, movie magic, and oddities.

Classic cars, candy, food trucks, and family fun in Magnolia Park

Sitting down with Kerry I was impressed at how calm and collected she seemed in light of overseeing the operations of two successful restaurants on Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank. I imagine her composure comes from over 25 years working in the restaurant industry and being trained at Le Cordon Bleu.

Chloe may be an accomplished filmmaker with awards, commendations and a prestigious degree from Columbia University but she can also be seen helping customers select their keepsakes at her families Vintage store, Junk for Joy, on Magnolia Blvd.

Burbank native Elizabeth Dowell has always known that her path would center around connection, creativity, and helping others feel their best.

Santa Claus also reminded everyone to shop local and support Magnolia Park businesses—and promised he’ll be back this November
