Shopping at 168 on Valley Blvd.

October 12, 2007

I enjoy shopping at 168 for the peaceful Asian music - absent is the constant barking of advertisements like at Ranch 99, spacious aisles, vast product selection, and on a weekday afternoon - an empty store all to my exploring self.  On the weekends, it transforms into a frenetic Asian outdoor market, though it’s indoors.

 

 

 

 

 

J1 is a great brand of aloe drink; the canned Honey Aloe drink I did not like as much; and the green tea ice cream bars are the best!

Make baskets at Under Spring

I had a great time at Under Spring the first time I stumbled upon it.  It’s an unusual public space underneath a bridge in downtown L.A, a former hangout of drug users.  And now Farmlab is hosting a basket-making workship there to celebrate Native American heritage month.  I find this a very odd yet intriguing pairing: baskets and urban bridges.  Stop by, breathe in smog, learn about the Tongva people, and weave something - it’s free!
