When it comes to enjoying a night at the movies in Downtown Los Angeles, people don’t have to put up with the confines of four walls, a roof and paying $6 for a small popcorn.
This summer, Downtown movie fans can take advantage of four outdoor movie series. The events offer everything from classics to comedies to family friendly fare.
Some even throw live music and food trucks into the mix, and one series is free. Here is a rundown of the al fresco film action.
Metro’s Bike Week L.A. began Monday and continues through the weekend in an effort to encourage Angelenos to dust off their two-wheels and ride, for their health and for the environment.
“About 40 percent of all car trips are one mile or less,” Lynne Goldsmith, bicycle program manager for Metro told The Source. “If we can encourage people to make some of those trips on a bicycle, we are helping to reduce road congestion and improve air quality.”
Spring Street Park to Open in June
Historic Core residents have a reason to cheer: The Spring Street Park is scheduled to open in June, two months ahead of schedule.
Actually, there’s a second bit of good news: Area stakeholders have come up with a plan to operate and maintain the park, rebounding from a fumbled, divisive effort in 2011.

Come; take a trip through the stars at Create Fixate’s latest offering, “Constellations”. This event will showcase their signature mix of vibrant mixed-media, painting, photography, jewelry, and music produced by local talent.
These festive and unique one-night-only events bring together an eclectic group of art enthusiasts, painters, photographers, crafts people and musicians in a great warehouse setting. The May 11 event will feature stunning array of art with an emphasis on interactive light and sound installations that are sure ignite you imagination.
When it comes to Downtown nightlife, no one has a better pedigree than Cedd Moses.
His company 213 Nightlife operates eight Downtown bars. The establishments, from the whiskey emporium Seven Grand to mixology mecca The Varnish, have earned alcohol-infused accolades and made Moses a pioneer of Downtown’s renaissance.
That reputation, however, means little to some would-be neighbors of Moses’ latest vision — a pizza-purveying brewpub in the Arts District.
Moses has applied for permits to transform the old Crazy Gideon’s building at 826 Traction Ave. into a 17,000-square-foot destination where patrons can eat pizza, sip craft beer made in an on-site brewery and use 27 skeeball lanes. It would take over the first floor of the structure. A separate, 89-seat cocktail bar with pool and ping-pong is slated for the basement.

The Downtown Art Center (DAC) Gallery is proud to present a three person exhibition of works by David Jang, Olga Lah, and Diane Silver. Bound by themes of mortality, self-reflection, and environmental reorientation, each artist presents a unique catalyst to re-contextualizing our surroundings.
Each artist employs humble and innocuous materials in their works, objects commonly used and disposed of in our daily lives. These objects are then arranged en-masse to subvert their own utilitarian purposes, and transform the space they inhabit.

The Downtown Art Walk has become synonymous with the new Downtown Los Angeles. The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s (LADOT) DASH and Commuter Express bus services are also important contributors to what is Downtown Los Angeles today. These two icons of Downtown LA have partnered to accelerate the growing connection between the arts community and public transit.
On Thursday May 9, 2013 LADOT will be sponsoring the Art Walk and during that event, unveiling its limited edition TAP smart cards and making them available to the gallery-goers.
The LADOT branded TAP card is available in four limited edition designs.
There is no charge for the card when you add as little as $5 of stored cash value to the card during the Art Walk event.
The new cards will be available in the Art Walk Lounge at 634 South Spring Street from 6-10pm on May 9th.
