Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames

Ice Cube studied architectural drafting before he got into hip hop. Apparently he's a big fan of Charles and Ray Eames.

Pop UP Hood - Oakland

I'm so excited about this idea. Go shop locally if you live in Oakland or just come out to Oakland to visit if you are near by. 

Popuphood is a new urban initiative offering six new retail shops in five previously vacant store fronts with six months free rent.  Through popuphood, a dynamic neighborhood is
created where folks can stroll, dine, drink and shop, while exploring the neighborhood, discovering its historic charm and investing locally.  The sixth retail concept is a furniture
shop in a finished 20’ shipping container situated in the parking lot.  Each local small
business was curated by popuphood to compliment the already thriving restaurants and
bars and benefit them by increasing the neighborhood profile to position Old Oakland as
a true retail destination.
