Light of Learning: Where in LA?

After a slight hiatus, SundayLA is back! Check out the two photos below for this week's clues, featuring a gem of a building hidden in the heard of the city:

Photo Clue 1 of 2: Check back tomorrow for geotags and this week's winner!

A few more hints: this centrally located building features both Mediterranean Revival and ancient Egyptian architecture, and its central tower is distinctively topped with a tiled mosaic pyramid.

Bonus knowledge: this building is adjacent to one of my all-time LA fave's - a lovely little courtyard restaurant perfect for a special occasion or a romantic artist's-self-date-night if your creative soul ever needs inspiration. (Name and detailed location info will be posted in the Reveal!)

Photo Clue 2 of 2: The building just north-east of Photo 1 above...

Updating Cliches: Inagural Edition

I've decided that one of my new favorite pastimes is updating cliches so that they still have the same meaning, but are set in more modern, applicable scenarios.

For example: everyone knows the old expression "a watched pot never boils." Referring to being impatient while wistfully hoping that something that you cannot control the speed of will somehow magically go faster if you eagle-eye it, when in fact, that makes it seem like it takes much longer. Oh, the irony.

Updated Cliche #1: A watched file never uploads.

Referring to when you are trying to upload a large file online, and you just stare at the upload bar, silently cheering it on to go faster. Sadly, a watched file never uploads.

Got an updated cliche of your own? Post it here!

Cheers,
