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!

    Every code I attempt either leaves an enormous gap at the top of the page, or at the end of the web page. Its definitely that code triggering it. I’ve tried numerous codes trying to hide the blogs & extended network, yet they all leave a white gap either on top or at the bottom. Any person obtained one that doesn’t trigger the white gap? Or just how to get rid of the white gap?.

    Someone here asked me before if I can provide a link to that passive income. Finally found it so here it is: Online Paid Surveys. Very quick payouts and a lot of surveys, so if you have a lot of time, you’ll probably make a lot of money. I’m a single mom of two and all I could make was only $50 a day :/ Wish I had enough time to make it my full time income. I know I’d crush it, as I love surveys 🙂
