Our neighborhood “social club” got a true headshot in Saturday’s LA Times. Unfortunately, the online article doesn’t have the picture. You’ll have to track down a hard copy to see it.
The Flying Pigeon, our newest bike shop, is running weekend trips to get Chinese food on their Chinese bicycles. They’ll loan you one of theirs if you don’t have your own.
Highland Park is set to get a branch of JP Morgan Chase with the spectacular implosion of Washington Mutual. Hopefully, they’ll keep our local branch open as it would be a shame to lose the wonderful Denis O’Connor mural.
Did you know that YumYum Donuts was founded right here in Highland Park? Well, I was interested and needed the energy for a day of home improvements. You can never go wrong with donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast. (Unless you’re worried about obesity or type two diabetes.)
Finally, both Sunset Magazine and Details ran blurbs on El Pique. In the back of their October issue, Sunset mistakenly identifies the location as “57th and York” when we all know it’s really Avenue 53 and York. (Unfortunately, their article isn’t online.) Details’ paragraph is in their September issue wedged between a history of the lesbian kiss, what it’s like being married to a porn star, and probably 300 pages of advertisments. I expect the wine country weekenders and westside yuppies to start flooding HP anytime now. (Better lay out my Affliction shirt…)

Good suggestion regarding the dumpling spot. I’ll get my thinking cap on and figure out a leisurely ride there on bikes.
