LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
Breaking news: the weather has broke, and there will be a Grand Opening of residents’ windows at Newport Lofts. The aroma of garden-fresh gazpacho lures a lone fly which lands on a stack of vintage Las Vegas post cards. In an effort to shoot this intruder, “Bang, Bang” rings through the building, and the place suddenly looks as if The Atomic bomb went off. With the new serial from the Downtown ZEN fresh in mind, the pounding at the door sparks anxiety: surely it’s the cops. The door swings open to reveal … Aimee Groth — a friend instead. Needing inspiration for her book on Downtown Project, she mentions taking a stroll to the Container Park, but not before a lunch date detour at Du Pars. Leaving the disastrous aftermath behind, strolling arm in arm under the bright Blue Sky, ActionRED intercepts. Walking ‘n’ Rolling past The Center’s Bronze Café, but craving a Cheffinis dog, the realization sets in: there are so many options, Downtown certainly is Grand.
