March Watch



It's all supposed to go down right around our offices later today... I've got my camera and will post pictures as soon as possible.

The L.A. Times writes:

Los Angeles police expect the largest of the demonstrations to occur this afternoon on Wilshire Boulevard. Authorities are preparing for hundreds of thousands to march down one of L.A.'s most storied streets, following a route between MacArthur Park and the Miracle Mile that's a microcosm of the city's ethnic and economic diversity.

Many businesses along Wilshire plan to close for most of the day — some so that workers can join the protests, others in hopes of avoiding potential problems. Parents were figuring out how to pick up their children from school, while some residents — such as Ted Moreta of Hancock Park — were getting out of town altogether.

Moreta, who lives on a tree-lined street near La Brea Avenue, was planning to spend Sunday night with family in Orange County to avoid the expected gridlock on his commute to his job at a scuba diving training company in Rancho Santa Margarita.
