And the big question is always: Will there be fireworks this year?? They didn’t last year, but we will find out. Follow us on Twitter and we’ll announce the info as soon as we learn more!

It appears two of the public parking lots in Echo Park (there are three lots behind Sunset) are restricted, permit parking only. The signs are confusing and not well-placed so keep a sharp eye out for them.In past years they’ve used the elementary schools nearby, so we’re not sure why they’d take up the public parking options.

Street parking is available but minimal – you’re better off parking on Glendale Boulevard or, though the neighbors aren’t fond of it, in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Better yet – walk! If you’re in the ‘hood grab some ice water, a hat or an umbrella, and a fan (it’s hot out there!) and truck it using your own two legs.

See you there!

I’ve never started a website and would like it to be fairly easy (if possible). Are there any free or inexpensive places where I can do this? What methods of payment are best to use? Thanks!.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

    I’m going to start a serious blog that will eventually hold a great deal of content. I am a graphic designer, and my husband does my web programming, so this is for reals (haha, yes I just said that). That being said, I’ve already started collecting my content and writing entries, but just how much content should a brand new blog have when you “unveil” it to the world (ideally)?. . Thanks :).

    I must express some thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of such a trouble. Right after surfing around through the online world and obtaining tips which were not helpful, I assumed my entire life was gone. Living minus the approaches to the difficulties you have sorted out by means of your main short article is a critical case, as well as those that could have in a negative way affected my career if I had not noticed your web page. Your main training and kindness in touching almost everything was excellent. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a solution like this. It’s possible to now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for the professional and effective help. I won’t think twice to refer the website to any individual who ought to have care about this situation.
