Mar Vista and Palms continue to rise to the occasion with news today of a new restaurant heading out that way. Appropriately called The Mar Vista, the forthcoming project from D. Brandon Walker and Jill Davie (the former chef de cuisine at Josie) promises not only a strong all-day menu but also lots of philanthropy. Owing to the space’s past as a venue for bands, The Mar Vista promises live music as well, with a focus on local Angelenos, though it seems the space will be more than a bar with a touch of food.

Jack White, and his music label Third Man Records, teamed with The Impossible Project — an initiative that produces self-developing film in the wake of Polaroid's film extinction.

Playing instruments was banned during the period of Taliban rule in late-1990s Afghanistan, and even today, many conservative Muslims frown on most forms of music. “Musicians were practically losing their minds trying to hide their instruments under wood piles, thinking they were going to go crazy without any music and trying to practise in their heads at night,” Pascale told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
