Ever since reading
How to Live Well Without Owning A Car I’ve been scheming a way to if not get rid of, at least cut down on using mine seeing as cars emit greenhouse gases, use fossil fuels, and make us inactive while costing thousands of dollars a year to insure and maintain. Enter the electric scooter.
Way less vehicle than a car, but more substantial than a bike, the scooter is already a brilliant answer to traveling to not so faraway places without needing a special driver's license. Even more efficient (and often cheaper) is the electric variety.
Electric scooters have everything you want when getting around—wheels, a motor and a ...

Just because Valentine’s Day is over that doesn’t mean you can’t love any more. You can always find love in tennis.
As a kid in the suburbs I was always involved in team sports. Back then it was easy to get large groups of kids to play with. Nowadays, I can barely get five friends over for a get-together, let alone 18 friends for a softball game.
That is why tennis is a great sport for someone with an active lifestyle; it’s fun and a great workout for your body. Most importantly, you only need to find one other person to play with.
Fortunately for Angelenos there is
Tennis Los Angeles,...

Tender Greens

LISTEN:
Kimya Dawson
Kimya Dawson, one half of the band
The Moldy Peaches, will be performing a free show at Amoeba records Friday, February 22, at 7 p.m. You probably recognize her music from the witty comedy
Juno, which featured her song, “Anyone Else But You” at the end of the film, as covered by Ellen Page and Michael Cerra. Her childlike sound and lyrics evoke feelings of nostalgia from the listener, and if you didn’t fall in love with her songs by the end of watching
Juno, you probably have no soul. Something you should look into.
Kimya Dawson @ Amoeba Records 6400 Sunset Blvd. Friday Feb. 22 at 7 p.m.
Line up early to get in.
