Vintage Clothing Show coming to Burbank.
If you’re a fan of vintage clothes and retro items, you probably already
hit the Southern California flea markets, consignment shops, and
vintage boutiques. But did you know that there’s a vintage clothing
show where you can find all sorts of old fashions and cool things to
wear.
The Vintage Clothing & Textile Show -- which is now in its 26th year
-- takes place at Pickwick Gardens in Burbank. The next one is Sunday,
August 29, 2010. But if you can’t make that one, there’s one on

January 30.

New restaurants near Santa Monica Beach.
Santa Monica is blessed with great restaurants. There are already many
wonderful places to eat downtown, on the Third Street Promenade, and in
the Santa Monica Beach hotels. But a new development, opening on August 6,
is bringing some of the Bay Area’s most popular chefs to the area --
and you can dine under the stars on the third-story roof deck.
Called Santa Monica Place, the new complex has shops ranging from Tiffany to
Nordstom, six new fine-dining restaurants, a food court
with eight casual cafes, and a food market that’s scheduled to open at
the end of the year. It’s two blocks from Santa Monica Beach.

Five

And the venue can accommodate as many as 25,000 flea market
aficionados. Eventually, it may give the Rose Bowl Flea Market a run
for it’s money.
