The Indy Endorsement: The Overstuffed Bacon and Eggs at Shorebird
Why: It’s a unique twist on a classic treat. Ah, the deviled egg. It’s an all-American appetizer classic—a staple at potlucks and summer barbecues across the country. But you’ve almost certainly never seen deviled eggs like the ones on the menu at Shorebird, a newer “coastal” restaurant located at The Shops on El Paseo. These overstuffed eggs are tall, stacked with a swirled mixture of egg, celery, bacon, chives and paprika. Additionally, each of the four pieces is affixed to the plate with yet more of that egg mixture.

July 1 Daily Briefing: Guide to little libraries, funding for free art night, shooting incident, and more
Welcome to Monday, and to July, and to what we hope is a short week for many of you (It is for us — but more on that later). If you’re traveling this week, it might be a good time to read up on the most effective merge method for our state’s many, many construction zones. The topic, covered in this article by Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press, is sure to spark debate, but we find it fascinating. Fun fact (at least according to this article in How Stuff Works): Because the system uses all the available road space for as long as possible, it cuts congestion by 40%. We hate to look like jerks on the road, but it’s science!

Review: KEN PAGE at CVRep
Ken Page. If you don’t know the name then you haven’t been paying attention. If you are reading Broadway world reviews then you probably have a pretty good education of New York theatre royalty. His charm has graced the stages of Broadway, many theatres throughout the country, Cabaret clubs, film, and television. Audiences know his voice best as Oogie Boogie the villainous bag of bugs from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”
Agua Caliente Cultural Museum: Land Acknowledgement In Built Form
The desert city of Palm Springs is renowned for the mid-century modern architecture that blossomed there as the area became a quick getaway for the Hollywood movie stars looking to escape the tight studio grip and the tabloid media of the 1940’s and 50’s. But way before the arrival of the Rat Pack crowd and their dry martini cocktail fueled lifestyle, Palm Springs was the home of the Cahuilla people, who had inhabited the area for hundreds of years. Now, with the opening last year of the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum in the heart of the city, that important Native American legacy will be both preserved and celebrated!
