</span>Neighborhood gem celebrates five years of books and community in the Triangle</strong></h6>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="vc_empty_space"   style="height: 10px"><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"></span></div></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Karen Dial opened The Book Jewel in August 2020, it was the culmination of a lifelong dream to open a community book store in her beloved hometown of Westchester. The goal was to create a store that the whole neighborhood could treasure, that served as a “third place” (an informal gathering spot outside of home and work that fosters community), which felt welcoming, peaceful, and had a great selection of carefully curated books for people to browse and shop.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the store readies to celebrate its fifth anniversary on Saturday, September 6, with a live band, refreshments and a book swap, Karen is proud that that’s exactly what she and her team have built.</span></p>

			<p>From the Hometown News:</p>
<h6><span style="font-weight: 400;">David Russell’s murals connect community and history</span></h6>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve spent any time in Westchester, you’re sure to have seen the colorful mark of muralist David Russell. From the soaring “Welcome to Westchester” mural that can be seen from LAX’s runway, to the youth-inspired design at the local YMCA, to his most recent work at Tomat, David has transformed blank walls into vibrant canvases that bring this community’s story to life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A senior lecturer at both LMU and Otis College of Art &amp; Design (where he earned his Master’s degree), Westchester resident David has built his career around public art. For him, murals are more than decoration, they’re about connection.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Public art has the potential to give or connect people to their community,” he says. “Most of my murals reflect the identity of the neighborhoods they serve. They become landmarks, something people feel at home with.”</span></p>
<p><b>Celebrating Local Icons Through Murals</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">David’s murals are rich with symbolism, history, and a sense of place. He often involves students and neighbors in workshops, to ensure the work reflects their voices and memories, not just his own. That collaborative spirit shows up most clearly in three large-scale Westchester landmarks.</span></p>

Working with local farmers and suppliers to highlight seasonality along with California's bounty, Tomat features all-day dining, but it's in the evenings when the cooking turns more serious.

Kick things off with their barbari bread with roasted tomato powder-dusted butter before savoring appetizers like charred seasonal vegetables over a smooth ajo blanco.

Sticky toffee pudding with a butterscotch sauce and a scoop of burnt milk gelato is the perfect finale.]]></description>
