Happy July 4th — this traditional holiday brings back fun memories. This is one of my most favorite holidays, because July 4th symbolizes how lucky we are to live in the United States and enjoy the bounty we have been blessed with. While I love traveling far and near as you well know, I am always glad to be home and gain a true appreciation for how lucky we are to live where we do. We have all see the images of small town America celebrating The Fourth with home-grown parades, picnics and fireworks that touch a tender spot in my heart. My family has been going to Coronado over July 4 for decades — and being able to experience all of these traditional events each year warms my heart. The old fashioned parade down Orange Avenue, which is the main street in Coronado, is fun to see every time. I do hope you have a great Fourth of July, too.

It’s not too early to plan your July 15-18 ‘Carmageddon’ weekend. It’s still just two weeks away, but already many of my friends and associates have their ‘Carmageddon’ weekend planned — getting out of Dodge…pulling up the drawbridge….taking that vacation they have been putting off. Whatever your choice be, please remember that as of July 15, 7 p.m., (was 10 p.m. previously), the 405 freeway will be closed from Interstate 10 for 53 hours — all the way over the hill to 101 (Ventura Freeway) — a 10-mile section that essentially chokes off all traffic over Sepulveda Pass except for residents who can prove their residence is within the area. The Getty Center, located in the middle of Sepulveda Pass, will be closed on July 16 and 17. The 405 lanes will be reopened sometime Monday morning the 18th. There will be some police and fire personnel who will be using our Club house as a staging area over the weekend.
The Mulholland Bridge will be partially demolished as part of the $1 billion highway improvement project, scheduled to end in mid-2013. All drivers are being warned to expect severe traffic on freeways and streets in the area. As usual, the information keeps changing, so the best way to keep up to date is to check the project website: www.metro.net/405.
