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’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt,
you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough men and women are speaking
intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to
this.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and
without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is
something that too few folks are speaking intelligently
about. I am very happy that I came across this during my hunt for
something regarding this.
