Narry a Place to Park.
Abbot Kinney Festival Started at 10 am. By noon, it was packed. But a few hours later, it was really packed, and when the crowd left, only someone else would know. People ate and drank, purchased, but all seemed to really just enjoy the day in the colorful surroundings. By 11 am Monday, the street was clean, leaving only the frivolity of yesterday as a fond memory.
