A Team Building Day Idea: Cultural Tourism in Our Neighborhood

Image
Just before the holidays the workload eased up enough to schedule a Team Building Field Trip. We explored a world renowned work of public art, located 4 miles from our offices! We followed Culture with Cuisine. Next time you visit EventWorks we offer to take you because it turns out that Watts is hot!   We probably pay more attention to cultural sites as we travel around the world but we have the opportunity to visit a world famous National Historic Landmark blocks away from our offices: Watts Towers. Simon Rodia's master work was the Italian immigrant's labor of love and obsession, 34 years of non-stop construction, done by hand with the help of simple tools and donated materials. Truly inspiring!

 We ❤︎ L.A. and upon recommendation from our friends at the L.A. Visitors and Convention Bureau we visited three sites in #DTLA, formerly known as just Downtown, the area of Los Angeles that sees the most exciting developments and wonderful improvements. Here our report. SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR AT THE CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER. Catch it while you can: the Space Shuttle in flight mode will be closing by the end of 2016. The California Science Center in Exposition Park is expanding. A new addition will house Endeavour, scheduled to reopen in early 2018. And at that time the Space Shuttle will be placed in launch position! So if you are dreaming of a glamorous affair under the belly of Endeavour, book now! What you need to know: the museum is open to the public. Load-in and set-up have to be coordinated on a tight schedule.

If our hopes for the world at large become true, it will be a better world. Now let's just hope these two aren't right: In the meantime, I wish you all the best for a joyous New Year filled with accomplishment, contentment, adventure and good health!  Happy 2016!  Janet
