No lotus flowers in the lake this year, but they are for sale to take home!

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!

    One more thing. I do believe that there are lots of travel insurance web pages of respectable companies than enable you to enter your vacation details to get you the insurance quotes. You can also purchase an international travel insurance policy on the internet by using your own credit card. All you should do will be to enter your travel particulars and you can understand the plans side-by-side. You only need to find the system that suits your allowance and needs then use your bank credit card to buy them. Travel insurance on the web is a good way to begin looking for a reputable company pertaining to international travel insurance. Thanks for giving your ideas.
