Get back on the streets and enjoy some art.
The weather oracles are predicting a cold and dry evening. Sounds like the perfect time to enjoy Second Saturday Gallery Night, organized by the good folks at NELAart--that’s the Northeast Los Angeles Arts Organization-- a wonderful evening of art and community for you--yes you--to enjoy. Cypress Park New Puppy Gallery 2808 Elm Street Los Angeles, CA 90065 The show Apology Accepted features over 40 woodblock and monoprints by Derek Cowan. The New Puppy tells us that “Cowan’s prints are a reminder of a waning book culture in an age of e-readers.

The bike lane, which extends between Eagle Rock Boulevard in Eagle Rock and Avenue 55 in Highland Park, was a welcome surprise for the prospering bicycle community, offering much-needed protection from the relentless hustle of traffic on one of Highland Park's main thoroughfares. Missing, though, was a place for cyclists to park their gear. "Safety is huge," said Mount Washington cyclist Rob Richman. On his way to The Bicycle Doctor, a local bike shop that has catered to the city's cyclists for 25 years, …
