The Ford presents this photo gallery as a look at one of his favorite places in The Official Metropolitan Home Region of The Official Blog of The Ford . Really. Check out the views. Pay no attention to those Sea-Gals in the foreground. None whatsoever.

Once you've done that, you'll need to cleanse your pallet. Might The Ford suggest a light dusting of McSweeney's?

Like, say, this tasty morsel?

Or, perhaps, this will be more to your liking?

Or course, you're probably not here for the fine dining.

It's OK, The Ford knows why you came here.

Over there.

Around the corner.

Behind the fake tree.

you'll find it.

Y'know, that section, where you find out that despite The Ford's desperate attempts to avoid hearing anything about the last half of The OC this season, he has failed. He's heard the big secret about the last episode.

Eh.

It'll still be one of about 20 DVD sets he'll be buying in two months.

But in honor of said secret, let's give a big shoutout to Mischa Barton.

The maybe-third-hottest woman on the OC -- if we're being generous -- has a nude scene.

That people are excited about.

Strikes The Ford kinda like the folks who were really excited about signing Az-zakir Hakim a few years back. Is he a talent? Sure. But there's a reason he's the third chair, so to speak.

'Nuff said.
