👨💻 That’s Tom, America’s Best Friend: In 2004, MySpace was officially launched, and it quickly became one of the biggest social media sites of the next two decades.

🌴 We be yard cleanin': Spring cleaning always brings a form of yard cleaning. This year, take advantage of the ‘organic LEGOs,’ of gardening with landscaping boulders. Hugh Garvey, the editor-in-chief over at Sunset.com, needed boulders for his front yard in Los Angeles, and was shown a variety of options on upcoming yard-trends, courtesy of Landscape Designer David Godshall of Terremoto. In Western states like ours, boulders signify solidity, age, weight and create a powerful visual narrative. Boulders can be used as heat reservoirs for plants, placed in a dry stack wall, used as a threshold, stepping stone or natural sculpture, and even as a chaise lounge.
🥑 Spring. Sprung. Grub: Speaking of spring, our city’s restaurant scene is blooming with exciting new openings. From a Mexican restaurant by renowned chef Enrique Olvera to the first authentic Portuguese hangout in the city, there is something for everyone. The former A-Frame space in Culver City has been given a makeover and will soon be serving up pizza as the retro-cool Best Bet restaurant. Bar Monette, a jewel box of a hangout, is set to open in Santa Monica with Toronto chef Sean MacDonald at the helm. And, finally, Baroo, a much-missed restaurant, is making a comeback with Korean-inspired beverages and coursed dishes

📸 Influencing the side-hustle: While it was once rare to make a living off YouTube, the creator economy is now valued at around $100 billion and includes an estimated two million professional content creators, with some achieving celebrity status like Addison Rae and the D’Amelio sisters.

A TikTok video posted by a Chuck E. Cheese employee named Stewart Coonrod shows us how to install a new song-and-dance show on an old animatronics system using a 3.5-inch floppy disk and not one, but two DVDs. This is the last update before the store gets a new look that will remove the animatronics altogether. The parent company still ships out updates on floppy and DVD to match the legacy system, which is a fascinating nod to the past.
