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 come across that right now, more and more people are now being attracted to video cameras and the discipline of taking pictures. However, being a photographer, you need to first shell out so much time frame deciding the model of video camera to buy plus moving store to store just so you could possibly buy the most affordable camera of the trademark you have decided to pick. But it doesn’t end generally there. You also have take into consideration whether you can purchase a digital video camera extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good recommendations I accumulated from your weblog.
