Bacon, egg, and cheese, man. Come on. People always put it on a croissant or something. That's no good. You need strong bread-strong bread to withstand the heat and the grease. This exchange between the author and Andrew Proctor captured the essential philosophy of breakfast sandwich construction, emphasizing the structural integrity required of the bread to properly support the fillings.

The event was the following day: we had 250 tickets sold, we'd done so many rehearsals, and inside there were lighting rigs, performers' equipment, shop stock. It was truly heartbreaking. So many businesses lost so much money and time, and now the loss of the space itself is having a huge impact on the wider community.

Upon entry, Kent's "IF" (1965) lures the eye upward. The serigraph-a silkscreen print in fine art parlance-hangs high on the wall with a subtle vulnerability. Two orange letters hover toward the composition's top edge, as if pushing to transcend the picture plane. A feeling of possibility emerges through the conjunction and its visual form.

We are profoundly grateful to the Chan family for their extraordinary generosity and their commitment to making Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places accessible to all. Few bodies of work have so decisively changed the course of photography.

Growing up in the midsize city of Vancouver, Canada, I always dreamed of living in a big metropolis - a cultural hub where something was always going on, with endless places to explore. For a while, I did. When I started dating a Brit, I moved to his hometown of Birmingham, England, the second-largest city in the UK population-wise, with over a million residents.

BC Bike Fest features top-tier racing on some of the world's best singletrack, centered around a main festival vibe with the best aprés activities in mountain biking you'll ever come across. The Festival HQ is located at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds, in the center of three diverse trail networks: Maple Mountain (XC), Mount Tzouhalem (Enduro), and Mount Prevost (DH). This location offers riders quick access to a wide range of trails from one main hub.

Seven years of development allowed Openspace Architecture and landscape designer Paul Sangha Creative to thread a 10,000-square-foot single-story home through mature forest without sacrificing the canopy that defines the site's character - a constraint that ultimately generated the building's gently curving plan and its sequence of connected spaces opening to Saanich Inlet views. The design draws from mid-century West Coast Modernism's timber traditions while incorporating Japanese structural principles that extend beyond aesthetic reference.

Last night I had a dream and you were in it, and I was in it with you. I was doing the packing I never did. Not sure how it started, that's how dreams go. But I was nervous that you might show up. Just like you were nervous I'd be there. Eventually you did show up, but your head was buzzed and dyed orange.

OREGON CITY - It'll be a long and arduous journey emblematic of the original 1840s Oregon Trail migration itself. But, in the end, some years from now, restoration of the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive and Visitor Center in Oregon City should produce a beacon of history, education, and pride for the state and citizens of all backgrounds. An updated venue will include a new addition housing original wagons, a beautiful plank house, amphitheater events, and expanded programming.

Adelleda Love is in the air at Vtopian's sibling restaurant, which has a three-course meal available from February 1315. You'll start off with a surprise amuse bouche before diving into a smoked pear salad or sweet potato gratin, sacchetti with rapini or brown butter Parisian gnocchi, and gluten-free pistachio cake with ube custard or chocolate with bourbon hazelnuts. Feeling luxe? Add truffles to the dinner for an additional $35.

The Capitals are in a tailspin and are falling further out of the playoff picture. Tonight, they arrive in Vancouver, and hopefully the experience gives them a shot in the arm. Tom Wilson is back and Vancouver is awful, like really, really bad. They've lost 33 of their 49 games and have the fewest standings points in the league. They've lost 11 straight games, including the last 8 in regulation.

I'd been on the island for less than a week when I opened my glove box looking for sunglasses, only to find the wrapper of my emergency granola bar torn open and the corner nibbled, right next to a neat little pile of mouse droppings. As I inspected the rest of the car, I was mortified to realize it was likely more than a single mouse. I texted the friend I was housesitting for in disbelief. "Ugh, I'm sorry! That's so island," she wrote back.

The DNA of a good dive bar isn't necessarily its menu, but its feel. It should be well-worn, the vinyl on the stools crackling like a dry lake bed on the verge of a rip. The soundtrack is familiar and at a volume that muffles nearby table conversation. The lighting is low, augmented by ambient string lights and flashes from arcade games. Drinks should be cheap. Yukon Tavern in Sellwood is a couple of those things, and more.

"I think Carr is a remarkable Modernist landscape painter who has been largely overlooked in the wider history of Modernism," Hill says. "Her intense commitment to art, despite sexist assumptions about her potential as a woman artist and her geographic isolation from the mainstream art world, are a story I think many people would find fascinating if given a chance to hear it and see the work."

This Sunday brings three capital-B Bowls: Super, Puppy and Benito. See below for our recommendations for where to spend your favorite one. Bad Bunny fans who want to get the halftime show started early have several dance party options Saturday night, and area bars (including Atlas Brew Works) are hosting events for the Winter Olympics from Opening Ceremonies onward. In addition to early Valentine's Day celebrations, this week has cozy crafting nights, another "Heated Rivalry" party and the kickoff of the D.C. Independent Film Festival.

Find what brings you joy with the kickoff of San Francisco Art Week, SF Sketchfest, and the Napa Lighted Art Festival this week. Engage in some art of your own at a mosaic-making class or find your next favorite thing at vintage shows this weekend. For a final dose of reflection, don't miss the send-off tribute to Claude on Sunday.

The rush of going down the face of a wave is just a glorious feeling.
