WELL-FORMED AND FUN "RICHARD III" UNDER THE STARS @ THE THEATRICUM BOTANICUM 

by Mark Share

 

RICHARD III

The Theatricum's production of Shakespeare's Richard III is the theatrical equivalent of the Marvel movies filling the multiplex this summer, with an over-the-top evil villain, much violence, revenge, and retribution.

 

It's at least as much fun as seeing the charismatic villains vanquished in Thor, Green Lantern, or X-Men: First Class...

THE HIDDEN BURGER GEM THAT IS THE MARKET GRILL IN MONROVIA by Abby Abanes

 

MARKET BURGER

I was in the mood for a burger and all the burger options in Duarte were basically all about fast food and that wasn't going to do. In-n-Out was also a possibility since it was just a 10-15 minute drive, but my picky palate said no because it was craving a new burger experience. In the back of my mind, I remembered hearing about a restaurant in Monrovia called The Market Grill that is supposed to be known for their burgers so off I went.
 

The Market Grill is actually not a stand-alone restaurant. You'll find it inside the Monrovia Market, but as you pass the restaurant window, take note of the housemade burger buns that are on cooling trays...
