HEADLINES

Happy Birthday, LA. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 🎉 SEPTEMBER 4TH, 1781: LA turned 242 on Labor Day. Our city was originally named El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciúncula, which translates to The Town of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porciúncula. Today, LA is home to you, which helps contribute to the most beautiful/good lookin’ people in the world 🔗 KTLA

• Our birthday is a great reminder that we have The Great Walk of Los Angeles coming up on November 19th, the day after Thanksgiving.

• The next LA birthday that we can celebrate will commence October 29th when the internet was invented here in Los Angeles at UCLA. Today, the internet provides OnlyFans to the world’s most good lookin’ people in Los Angeles.

CALIFORNIA 🪪 CAN I SEE SOME DIGITAL ID, PLZ? Our State’s DMV recently released a pilot program that allows Californians to keep a digital ID on their smartphones. The pilot program is open and accepting 1.5 million for the beta. The app itself is available within the Google Play and Apple App Store. This seems like perfect timing to release a revolutionary idea with the Apple Event being next week… 🔗 CA DMV

LITTLE TOKYO 🍡 DAIKOKUYA ANNEX: From a Google Maps Search that I did earlier, it looks as if Little Tokyo has added a new restaurant, Daikokuya Annex. No information on this one (yet), other than the menu does look delish.

A live community calendar was recently discovered by Garrett. This calendar is seen by over 700,000 people and solves an issue that we have had at CuratedLA: a community calendar. A link to this calendar is now on our main navigation page.

However, we are continuing to explore options for an event system that enables us to provide of-interest events within this section. Our goal is to keep CuratedLA’s original formatting while preventing email clients, such as Gmail, from clipping the newsletter. Thank you all for your patience on this.

This newsletter was curated yesterday, Tuesday. It’s a bit shorter as it was hard to find content, likely due to the Labor Day Weekend. As always, feel free to reply to this email, email us directly, or post on the Surfboard to submit content. Sadly, none of us here at CuratedLA have an OnlyFans to fluff content with.

SEE YOU FRIDAY
