Santa Clarita and Pasadena have a storied tradition of hosting the Amgen Tour of California grand conclusion. While this may look like an easy stage on paper, there will be challenges from start to finish as teams protect their GC riders from attacks and set up their sprinters to win the stage. The race’s traditional start in Santa Clarita will be at the Town Center Mall. The route will then turn north out of the city on Soledad Canyon Road, through the Antelope Valley, to the first sprint of the day in Acton. Turing onto Aliso Canyon Road, the riders will work their way onto Angeles Forest Hwy and into the Angeles National Forest.

The first climb will come at Mill Creek Summit, then downhill and left onto Upper Big Tujunga to the final climb of the race at the intersection with Angeles Crest Highway. It will be downhill as the riders pass Redbox and Mt. Wilson. A quick dash through La Canada Flintridge will take the race down Rosemont Avenue to the famed Rose Bowl for the ultimate race finish.
This stage shares a common start and finish for the women and men, with two slight differences. Whereas the women will come straight up Angeles Forest Highway to Angeles Crest Highway, the men will turn on Upper Tujunga to add mileage and one final climb. The women conclude the day first, coming to the finish line and completing one lap. Just as they began the week with three Capitol circuits during Stage 1 in Sacramento, the men will blaze through three circuits of the Rose Bowl to conclude the race.
Portions of the route affected by adverse weather and natural events will be inspected up until race time, and race routes are subject to change to ensure fan and rider safety.

PASADENA, Calif. – On Valentine’s Day, you can feel the love at The Rose with Abbey Road, who will be performing their “Love Songs from the Beatles” show. The nationally touring band will do costume changes reflecting different periods in the Beatles’ career from their puppy dog heyday to the “All You Need Is Love” era and they’ll be singing plenty of love songs, too.
In My Life – A Musical Theatre Tribute to the Beatles
There’s no “I” in “Beatles,” said Chris Paul Overall, who performs as “Paul McCartney” in the show. There was genius in the Beatles’ writing of their 1964 classic “She Loves You” in the third person, rather than a first person, “I Love You.” “‘I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah,’ doesn’t have the same impact as hearing it in the third person,” said Overall.
“Beatles Chase” (l-r) shows Chris Paul Overall (“Paul”), Nate Bott (“John”), Axel Clarke (“Ringo”) and Jesse Wilder (“George”); “Sgt Pepper” shows Bott, Clarke, Overall and Wilder
Beatles tribute band, Abbey Road, performs “Love Songs from the Beatles” on Thursday, February 14 at the Rose. Tickets are $24.50 / $38.50 and may be purchased by phone at 888-645-5006 or online atwww.wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com. The Rose is located at 245 E. Green St.Pasadena, CA 91101. Under 18 persons must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Steve Diamant, owner of Arcadia Contemporary, reflected on the high volume of sales enjoyed at his booth. “We go to a lot of art fairs across the country. But the LA Art Show is our Superbowl,” he said. One of their best-selling artists, Loribelle Spirovski, created a portrait of rising pop-icon Troye Sivan, a major hit among fair attendees. On Saturday, Sivan himself happened upon the painting and posed for pictures in front of it.

These were just two of the many galleries showing ink painting this year.
House of Fine Art (HoFA), a gallery with long-established spaces in London and Mykonos, used the LA Art Show to introduce art collectors and Angelenos to their new Los Angeles gallery, which opened only three months ago.

Shin Lim “sleight of hand artist” and winner Season 13 “America’s Got Talent” winner is scheduled to headline Terry Fator Theatre May 31 – June 2 and July 26 – 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Shin Lim redefines the way close-up magic is presented by performing carefully self-choreographed routines rather than pretending to defy the laws of physics. Combining dexterity, precision and grace, he has distilled a lifetime of training into a devious display of dancing digits. His mind-boggling finger moves are so masterful, the audience is left wondering if what they have seen is truly possible. Lim is respected by esteemed magicians for his skill and poetic performance and is considered an inspiration to many young magicians. Lim admits, however, that he is not a magician nor a wizard and has no intention of lying to the audience.

Los Angeles, Calif. – A special 80th anniversary event is coming to select theaters. In this classic musical fantasy, Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land “somewhere over the rainbow.”
Wizard of Oz returns to Regal on January 27, 2019. For tickets and showtimes: https://regmovi.es/2FPPUiP
Dorothy Gale is swept away from a farm in Kansas to a magical land of Oz in a tornado and embarks on a quest with her new friends to see the Wizard who can help her return home to Kansas and help her friends as well.
Dorothy’s dream comes true when she, her dog, Toto, and her family’s house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag’s sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion–and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers–Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home.
Fans young and old won’t want to miss this special showing! This beloved classic includes special insight from Turner Classic Movies.
