Staying in Hells Kitchen for a couple of days. On this trip, I expect a lot of eating, walking and random run-ins. This was about 30 minutes ago. See you guys next week.
Ateliers de la Petite Enfance. It might last longer than fashion
December 1, 2009
When Jean Touitou felt that there weren’t any suitable preschools in France for his five year old daughter, he decided to lay down his own ideas along with his collaborators to establish an institution that he deemed rightfully fitting. His motivation was to bring a creative alternative to the monotonous structure of state-ran preschools within France.
The end product… Aterlier de la Petite Enfance [A.P.E]. With a price tag of nearly $16,000 per year, your little protégé will get to take advantage of mind-expanding activities within a mini theater, art workshops and a do everything space conceptualized by Laurent Deroo; the interior architect behind Toiuitou’s parisian A.P.C. label.
DIY at its finest. Here are a few recent images of the school from the Laurent Deroo site. Great design facilitating the minds of the future! Read what W wrote.

3 Meals & a Bar for the Urbanist Guide
December 1, 2009
Nate Benedetto runs the URBANIST, an insightful guide covering the best entrepreneur owned establishments within the downtown/uptown area of San Diego; and come to think of it, areas adjacent, near and next to as well. Also in printed form, the guide reveals a carefully-curated collection of noteworthy destinations that you may want to check out when you find yourself hungry, bored and urging to buy a new sweater.
A couple of weeks ago, Nate asked me to participate within their ’3 Meals & A Bar’ feature. I was happy to oblige. The situation; 24 hours to show a friend the best that urban San Diego has to offer, where would you take them?
Check out the site to find out where I keep my appetite content. And, don’t forget to sign up for their mailing list to stay on top of the local happenings within town. Thanks Nate!
