L.A. TACO

Taquería Frontera made an immediate splash in Cypress Park's emerging restaurant scene during their soft opening last week. By bringing everything, from their tacos to their employees, from their family’s small Tijuana taco chain, Tijuanazo Taquerías , this new taquería embodies everything we love about Tijuana’s taco life. Most admirably, it’s built to encourage conversations on border politics by figuratively hoping to replace the borders people maintain between each other with their delicious Tijuana-style tacos.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

Things You Didn’t Know About Football!

Asheville, NC

Five years ago, War on Drugs bassist Dave Hartley moved to Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife and young daughter. He’d lived in Philadelphia for 16 years, but his band had spent time recording and touring in the small Blue Ridge Mountains city. “We always had this impression that there was a music scene there, but it was mostly bluegrass and jam bands, and there wasn’t much homegrown,” he says. “People would move there from other places because it was a vibe-y town.”
