Burbank Flash Mob Car Show Empire Center Krispy Kreme Tuesdays Traffic Jams

Burbank Flash Mob Krispy Kreme Tuesdays Traffic Jams

If you spent any part of yesterday afternoon in the Burbank area near the Empire Shopping Center off the 5 fwy you probably noticed the lines of cars attempting to exit at Burbank Blvd.

Traffic was backed up at some points for over a mile as thousands of car enthusiasts attempted to get to the Empire Shopping Center. This was considered a flash mob as days prior to the event social media sites had mentions of the gathering.

Fortunately there are no reports of any incidents and no arrests.

The unidentified organizer has stated that this was the last of the events.

BuckeyBites Antler Dog-Chew Starter Kit

Deer and elk naturally shed portions of their antlers throughout the year as seasons change and fashion trends come and go. BuckeyBites’ team scours fields and forests throughout North America to find these antler fragments, then cut and sand them down into dog chews. As pets gnaw on these 100% natural treats, they extract vitamins and minerals such as calcium, collagen, and glucosamine. These nutrients support everything from a glossy coat to healthy kidney function. In addition to promoting dogs’ physical health, the antlers may assist with their mental well-being, especially for dogs that combat stress and anxiety by chewing. Since nature designed the antlers to withstand the collisions of 700 lb. elk bulls, the chews last far longer than the average artificial dog toy, and they’re unlikely to ever chip or splinter.

Dog chews cut from naturally shed deer and elk antler
Excellent source of vitamins and minerals
Support bone, joint, and muscle health
May calm anxiety-prone dogs
Nonallergenic and 100% natural
Last longer than most artificial toys
Resist chipping and splintering
No dyes or preservatives for organically minded dogs
Shed antler—no animals harmed by harvesting
