Markie Scholz has an expressive imagination and has used it to produce puppet shows to entertain and teach helpful messages to her audiences.
Markie is a teacher by trade, but puppeteering is her heart and soul.
Markie says, “I enjoy it so much – I learn so much from kids. I get to walk away from almost everything I ever do smiling and I think that is the best you can do with life.”

The tiny homes building project began falling into place, until the pandemic hit and derailed the progress, but there is a sliver lining.

Dave Gates, Founder of Veteran’s Helping Hands Project
A Vietnam Veteran himself, Gates decided to take on the project, which gives veterans skills, potentially a job, and gets them back into society.
Dave Gates, Exec. Dir. of Veterans Helping Hands Project, says, “Get them the skills so when they come out of the program and they are doing, they get a job- give them a mission, they lost it when they got back, they lost that mission, they lost that focus, they got a focus every day.”
When Wes Avila formally stepped away from his iconic flagship taqueria Guerrilla Tacos in early August, it seemed to trigger a wave of surprised alarm in local food circles.Â
In an Instagram post this summer announcing his departure, Avila noted, âNow, I have decided to step down as executive chef. I am looking forward to the ability to spend more time with my family.â
His departure from his Arts District outpost seemed to draw more attention than his quiet return to DTLAâthis time in Chinatownâwith Angry Egret Dinette in late October.Â
Located in the inner courtyard of Mandarin Plaza, the new concept offers a limited menu of breakfast items and sandwiches. Like his now-fabled tacos, the new menu creations at Angry Egret all reflect Avilaâs interest in bringing his sophisticated, classically trained palate and techniques for humble dishes and ingredients.
