I walked my block just off of King right after the parade and only found one empty BK coffee (you know who you are!). But it did feel like we had some very gracious visitors.

I was a bit apprehensive about the Parade because I live very close to King and dreaded having so many folks possibly spilling onto my property (like last year). But it turned out to be a great day, folks were very cool, the police were not overbearing in any way. I actually enjoyed it. Saw my old pal Walter Melton taking pics and gave us a chance to catch up after 50 years. And what knnocked me out was the City Maintenence was right there after the Parade ended and cleaned the streets up pronto. That's what I'm talkin aboit. Quite surreal seeing so many folks out on King. And everyone was happy-which enveloped the true spirit of MLK's Birthday & what it stands for.

My boys enjoyed the parade and festivities.  I love to see the streets of Leimert full....such a good feeling!

Oh, my!  Villaraigosa remembered there's a Los Angeles south of the 10 freeway?  Wish I could have been at the parade & after party today.  I know the neighborhood turned it out, as always.  Leimert Park knows how to host a celebration.
