Mar Vista Makeover: Update October 19, 2008

Progress is being made, people. Slowly but surely.

Pacific Avenue is being paved between Centinela and Inglewood.

Or at least it's been torn up in preparation for paving. Hope phase 2 comes soon!

And the building next to the library is zooming up. Here it is on September 19th 

and today.

And Tacqueria Chihuahua is all gone -- now it's becoming a deli -- very fancy interior:

Check out the floor tiles!  I hear they may have online ordering and curbside pickup -- does it get any cooler? Fingers crossed, everyone.

Free Ice Cream Tomorrow!

Cold Stone Creamery is giving away free ice cream tomorrow, September 25th, from 5pm - 8pm. Run, don't walk!

They are supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, so it's ALL GOOD.

Labor Day Celebration

We spent the second-to-last-day of summer enjoying some of the Best of LA. 

Lunch at Pink's.

Free Admission at LACMA thanks to the fantastic Target corporation.

(And believe me, with the amount of money I spend there, I've helped them make the profits they used to make this free day possible.)

And no trip to Hancock Park would be complete without a visit to the Page Museum -- my kids' favorite.

Just beware of the Dreaded Tar Cones!
