Start Your Holiday Shopping Early On Black Friday
     If you have ever been out on Black Friday morning, you know what a real rush it is to snag some real deals before most people are even up. This year, get a group of friends and family together to do some Black Friday shopping. You will be able to get most of your holiday shopping done in one day!

     One of the best things about Target is that they have nearly everything you could want! Even better? Much of it is on sale on Black Friday! Video games make fantastic stocking stuffers, so take advantage of Target’s sale prices, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games as low as fifteen dollars. However, if leaving your apartment home on Black Friday sounds awful, no need to worry. Amazon is having a Black Friday sale in all of their departments, so you are sure to find what you need online!

     What are you waiting for? Make a plan to go Black Friday shopping this month! The closest Target is located at 3535 South La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90016, just a ten-minute drive from the Gloria Homes Apartments in Los Angeles, CA.

Enjoy A Summer Movie Night Under The Stars
     Los Angeles County has so many great events, it can be difficult to sift through them and find the perfect family-friendly one. Allow us to help! How about enjoying a summer movie night under the stars, presented by Street Food Cinema?
   
     Street Food Cinema is a series of outdoor film screenings taking place all summer throughout Los Angeles County! However, the events are so much more than a traditional outdoor film screening. Before each movie, a terrific live band puts on a concert, while there are photo booths, costume contests, and other fun activities as well! Also, go hungry, as at each screening some of the best local food vendors and trucks will be in attendance. With showings from Malibu to downtown L.A., and with movies like Grease, The Goonies, and The Hunger Games, you and your family are sure to find the perfect screening to attend!
   
     Why spend thirteen dollars on a movie ticket to sit in a crowded theater, when you could spend the same amount on a ticket to a Street Food Cinema event and have an entire night out under the stars? More information about the events, including dates and locations, can be found on www.streetfoodcinema.com.

The city of Los Angeles if the perfect California city to have some weekend fun. Let’s just jump right in with two fantastic places to take your family this weekend.

Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens

5333 Zoo Dr
Los Angeles, CA 90027
Phone number (323) 644-4200

The LA Zoo is a staple and classic community resource for Angelinos. The trouble is LA life is so busy, most of us rarely get to go on a regular basis. So why not throw it on the top of your list for family fun? The Zoo is open everyday from 10am to 5pm and cost in the $20 range to enter depending on the day (but you can always find a discount code online).

 

Maze Rooms

1182 S La Brea Ave

Los Angeles, CA 90019

Phone number(310) 595-2881

Maze Rooms are an awesome way to get your kids using their critical thinking skills while also having a good time. The Maze rooms are for people seven years and older and require a group of people to figure out how to exit a room through various clues.

The holidays are the perfect time to volunteer and give back to your community or any other organization. Volunteer opportunities fill up quickly during November and December, so now is the time to pick out an organization and volunteer. For those in the Los Angeles area, Downtown’s Midnight Mission is one of the best-run and volunteer friendly organizations in the area.

The organization provides counseling, continuing education training, and job training to Los Angeles’ homeless population. The organization also provides food, shelter, personal and medical care. Overall, its one of the many wonderful organizations in the Los Angeles area. The Midnight Mission also hosts food donation drives, a special Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas events for the people its serves.

 

For those who would like to help, the first place to start is by signing up for regular volunteer hours (you can do so on the Mission’s website). The Mission is an all male facility, so female volunteers are asked to volunteer with another person (male or female). Visit the link below to sign up for a volunteer opportunity. http://www.midnightmission.org/
