THE GOODS
🏡 Welcome to my famous cribs, MTV: We recently mentioned that fans of Barbie will have the opportunity to win a one-night stay in her pink-themed Malibu mansion. But only two fan-groups can win. For those of us that do not win, or nix this opportunity altogether, we still have many options to live like a celebrity, even it is brief, thanks to these active listings on AirBnb. The original inspiration for this feature was sourced from The Hollywood Reporter’s Alesandra Dubin

From Nick [via AirBnb]: Villa de la Vina, also known as "The Mansion", is the ideal place for your next getaway.

EATS
🐷 Bludso’s BBQ: A Texas-Style Celebration in Santa Monica: Bludso’s BBQ is more than just a restaurant. It’s a family, a community, and a party. That’s how owner and pitmaster Kevin Bludso wants it to be. He brings his Texas-style barbecue to Santa Monica with a blessing from his childhood friend, reverend Kevin Anderson, and a warm welcome to everyone who walks in. Bludso’s BBQ is the place to be for delicious smoked meats, hearty sides, and a festive atmosphere. Bludso’s BBQ is located at the corner of 14th and Santa Monica Blvd., and oh-my, does it look good

👎️ Even the owner of this diner gives it a one star: Meet Karen, she is the owner of Karen’s Diner, a not-so-typical dining experience. Her diner is hilarious, witty, and will make you either want to cry or scream with laughter for a manager. Karen’s Diner has been seen by billions worldwide, and we now have the opportunity to be irritated by both Karen and her grouchy crew in-person.

CITY & GOVERNMENT
🚴 New street curb-protected bike lanes in Santa Monica:The City of Santa Monica has recently added new features to make 17th Street safer and more comfortable for people who choose pedestrian mode. The project includes our county’s first curb-protected intersections and bike lanes, as well as a sidewalk-level bikeway. These new lanes connect to the Metro E Line, Santa Monica College, and other bike routes, all of which looks quite impressive
🚁 Help could be a drone away: The City of Santa Monica has started to implement drones to arrive on-scene, often doing so faster than first-responders. The police department has been using them as response drones are both safer and faster to respond to emergencies than ever before. A new helpful buzzing sound from the sky could be heard in the unfortunate event that we have to buzz 9-1-1
