Superdry, the clothing company created in 2003 by James Holder and Julian Dunkerton, has officially crossed the ocean into the US market. The first Superdry store on US soil has opened in LA at the Hollywood and Highland Center and it carries the full line of Superdry and some Breed apparel as well.
In the coming months, Superdry will be crossing the continental US and opening a store near NYU in New York City. Stay tuned for more info!

I found this video from Streetfilms about L.A.’s traffic control system very fascinating. The video is narrated by Bill J. Shao, a senior engineer at ATSAC Operations which stands for Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control.
He talks about how L.A.’s traffic control system is pretty much completely automated now, with only 1 or 2 personnel required to monitor the computers that do all of the calculations and whatnot in terms of traffic. The computer system automatically gives priority to public transportation and can adjust to almost any type of traffic situation such as accidents and congestion. The entire system is also a great tool for the city of Los Angeles to mine traffic data, as every bit of information that goes through the system gets collected and compiled to show how heavy traffic is and how slow/fast traffic is moving.
I couldn’t embed the video, so you’ll have to watch it here.

Designer Mike Reese created this fantastic set of Los Angeles T-shirts inspired by the iconic Les Miserables musical logo. I kinda want one even though I don’t live in LA.
