The distances between our destinations are short — about 0.5 miles to Chinatown, 1 mile to Broad and MOCA, and 1 mile back to Union Station. If you choose to walk, be aware that there are hills involved.  Metrolink, uber or taxis are always available in downtown LA.

We need to make train and museum reservations as soon as possible, so the only way to guarantee your spot is to make full payment at the ski club meeting this week.

At 5:30 those interested will head over to Mission Park (easy walk to Main and Figueroa so you can keep your car parked in the same place) to hear Incendino (Prez Tom’s fav) for a free concert with the Ventura Music Festival. Blankets and low-back chairs encouraged. In fact, you might want to set up your chair/blanket before you come to TGIT. Just a thought – I am not sure when the park opens.
