I live downtown, and it was refreshing to see the streets flooded with festival attendees (although parking was more of a headache than usual).

It was especially nice to see local food spots receive much-deserved patronage, such as the new cafe featured in the Eat section this week.

Whether you loved it or hated it, be ready, it’s coming back next year.


Also, be sure to check out our story in the Do section below about a pair of recent Poly grads who — through sheer creativity and force of will — are staging an original play at a professional venue in Santa Monica. It’s a great read.
