Sunday
Dedicate this day of rest to art and antiques. But best to start at Dawn’s Delectables with baked goods juicy enough to put you back onto gluten. The Rectangle Gallery turned a main-street storefront into an open- space co- op for local artists to display their works. (Artist Abigail Gary’s paintings manage to make a forest service road look hauntingly beautiful.) Apart from the tattoo parlours, Elks Lodge and the beauty college, Tower Street is a veritable antique row. But these aren’t just your grandmother’s doilies: one store specializes in military uniforms, high school yearbooks and Aloha shirts, all in impressive quantities.
When it finally reopens, the Fox Theatre will be a movie- going experience to rival anything else north of Hollywood. Pair that with dinner at La Tarasca, reputed to be the best Mexican north of California, and you’ve got yourself a date night to cap off the weekend.— M.T.
