Knox

Although it’s not located in Highland Park, Knox Street is referred to as the Park Cities side of the highway of I-75.  Home to everybody’s favorite no matter which side of the trail you live, Highland Park Pharmacy located there since 1912 still has the best pimento cheese sandwich on white toast.  Eat it sitting at the old counter - for some reason, it tastes better there!  More laid back than its Uptown neighbor and a better price point for apartments, the Knox area has easy access and is mixed with lots of restaurants with international flavors and has a nice selection of nationally recognized home furnishing retailers.

Lakewood Theater

Burlesque Comedy Show

Remember the I Love Lucy skit when she was in burlesque costume trying to break into the movies in a movie scene– my favorite part was when the star (not Lucy) was shot with a gun and Lucy took the opportunity to pretend she was shot to get the attention of the director and producer.  Although it didn’t work out, she got back at them by writing her name on the bottom of her shoe so viewers would know who she was.  Hold that thought and magnify The Amour Show performance to the Nth degree.

Final Weeks

Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera
Meadows Museum
5900 Bishop Avenue
ENDS September 20, 2009

The Cubist Portraits from 1913 - 1917 are in their final complimentary weeks.  I personally feel cubism’s subjects of being depicted broken down and offered up in a multi-faceted dimensions is actually a visual interpretation of the growing political unrest with the governments of Europe and Latin America that was taking place at the time.  It would be perfectly natural for the intellectually curious Diego Rivera to make his way to Paris given the state of revolution in Mexico at the time.

Reader Scott Chase offers his own insight into the artist’s critical years in Paris.
