We will once again be vending at the upcoming Grand National Roadster Show. The show takes place at the Fairplex in Pomona and is held on the last weekend of January. The GNRS is definitely one of our favorite car shows and is always a fun time. This year we will be giving out a special gift with every order placed at the booth. You don't want to miss it!

The Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax in LA is a true hidden gem. From the street it may look like another strip mall but that is definitely not what is at the heart of this market. What originally started as a gathering of local farmers selling crops to the public grew into a culinary collective with grocers, restaurants, food vendors, and more. They serve up local flavors as well as dishes from around the world. If you are a foodie and haven't been to The Original Farmers Market, it is a must taste. If you are not a foodie, visiting might just convert you. No photos were taken of the inside because it is something that needs to be experienced for oneself.
As you can see below, there is also a tribute Gilmore Oil. The Gilmore family is the reason why the Farmers Market exists today and if you make it over there stop by the Gilmore display to read more about the history of the area.
What can you buy for 25 cents anymore? Five pieces of Skittles out of the candy machine or a handful of goat food at the petting zoo? Those things might be worth your quarter but won't have a very long lasting impression like the best 25 cents ever spent.
That's right, Angels Flight only costs a quarter per ride and is more than worth the money. In case you are unfamiliar with Angels Flight, it is the shortest railroad in the world. It is located in Downtown Los Angeles in the Bunker Hill district and will save you from walking up or down a hefty flight of stairs from Hill St. to Olive St. It is much more than just a shortcut, though. The ride in the original cable cars really brings the culture of the early 1900s, the year of its conception, back to life. Since automobiles were only owned by the rich during that time, Angels Flight was a very useful mode of transportation. While riding down one of the two carts on this photo shoot day a woman was overheard saying, "This is better than any ride at Knott's Berry Farm." That statement couldn't be more true. Angels Flight is definitely a must ride for all. More information can be found on its official page or in the Angels Flight Wiki.
Next Saturday, October 1st, Pico Rivera Sheriff's station is putting on what they call a benefit "ride". First and foremost, the proceeds benefit peace officers and children in the community who are facing catastrophic financial hardships due to the illness, injury, or death of a spouse or dependent child. The day consists of a "poker run" style motorcycle ride but there is much more than that. At the motorcycle arrival location there will also be a car show, Oktoberfest beer garden, battle of the bands, and MMA style grappling. We will be there to support the cause and you should too. We will not be carrying our entire line so if there is something in particular that you would like to pick up at the show please use the contact page to let us know.
