"The hieroglyphs were enigmatic and symbolic engravings, which were much used in ancient times and preceding centuries, especially among the Egyptian prophets and teachers of religion, who considered it unlawful to expose the mysteries of wisdom in ordinary writing to lay people, as we do. And if they judged something to be a worthy piece of knowledge, they represented it in plain drawings or animals and other things in such a way that it was not easy for anyone to guess." - Filippo Fasanini

After a year of doing pop-ups, Adriana Montoya has opened L.A.'s panadería in southeast Los Angeles, including a menu of all the pan dulce classics, doggie guayaberas, and even 'Paw-cifico' cold ones to crack open with your loyal canine familia.
Punk foos, cholo foos, Black foos, old lady foos, and young foos all came out to check out Foos Gone Wild's highly anticipated art exhibition at Superchief Gallery L.A. just south of the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles. It was the craziest ensemble of thousands of foo characters ever to assemble anywhere in the most peaceful way.

But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).
Plus, a new Arcane-inspired boba event and a new taco spot to check out in Silver Lake, and more in this weekend's roundup!
