Chris Nichols of LA Magazine interviewed Paul Reubens, creator of Pee-wee Herman, about his big Los Angeles adventures. And don't forget, Pee-wee’s Big Holiday premieres on Netflix today.

Walgreen’s: The flagship store at Sunset and Vine is the place to decompress from nature. It is extremely special. They are open 24 hours, they have a greeter, they have flowers, and they have sushi displayed on this incredible artificial ice. It’s unbelievable and absolutely a destination. In the beauty department they have scented oil in the most insane scents like riding crop, bubble gum, and fresh baked bread. I’ve never bought one, and I don’t know what you would do with it. Maybe you can put it on a light bulb and have your whole house smell like a barn. I’ve never been there in the middle of the night, but it’s a goal of mine to set the alarm for 4 a.m. and see who’s shopping in there.
