Another great weekend for Metro accessible events – there’s some great freebies this weekend including free Korean tacos in Koreatown right near the Wilshire/Western Red and Purple Line Station. There’s also some fantastic music events all weekend. Have an event you’d like us to include? Shoot us an email at thesource@metro.net.
