Midsummer Night's Dream and Traffic Nightmares
Patch's quick take on the essential things to know, the most interesting things to do and best places to be on Thursday, Aug. 1.
Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.
- Wondering about traffic? Check your commute before work!
- One of the best parts about California summers is the summer fruit. Pick up ripe, fresh nectarines, peaches, plums and more at the farmers market from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Kaiser Permanente medical center at 5601 De Soto Ave.
- A Midsummers Night's Dream continues up in the hills at Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd. Tonight's show is at 8 p.m. See the theater's website for ticket options.
- Want to score a free Frappuccino? When you're out and about in the Southland, take this free coupon into a Barnes & Noble bookstore where you can get a free Starbucks Frappuccino when you buy another. This coupon is good through Aug. 3 at Calabasas, Valencia, Thousand Oaks, Media City Center in Burbank, 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, or The Grove at Farmers Market.
- Today is Vegetarian Day, according to http://www.daysoftheyear.com. Where do you find the best vegetarian food in the area?
