Storefront art: Good Luck, Sly

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

We're not sure if the realization of "Rambo IV" actually hinges upon the success of "Rocky Balboa" next week at the box office, but if it does, we're buying our tickets for the latter now.

True, we've always loathed Rambo movies (perhaps even more so, Rimbaud movies), but something tells us this one could be different. If our favorite Lord of Flatbush can get the bankroll from "Balboa" to just bring a certain Eagle Rock taco truck mural to the screen, we can practically guarantee Sly a real comeback. Forget about boohoo pugilists regaining their former glory - that helicopter is shooting holes in John Rambo's Super Big Gulp! Kick some commie ass, Machine Gun Joe! Save your encurtido! Greenlight this, and it's only a matter of time before Cuff and Link get their own feature film. We swear.

Rambo's Tacos is parked from time to time at the corner of Eagle Rock and York Blvds.
