CURATEDLA: GOOD LA VIBES

• 📩 Clipping: CuratedLA is having another great week of growth, mostly in-large part due to our new event calendars. With growth, comes more content. But Gmail will likely clip CuratedLA and other of our favorite online newsletters because of new regulations. As such, I am including a ‘Read Online’ button, seen above. This will be standard moving forward so clipping will not disrupt the way that you curate LA. And on Friday, more content + imagery. 2024, we are on a roll!
