Loma Vista Public Staircase: Big Parade Starts Tomorrow

Loma Vista is probably the longest public staircase in the neighborhood. It goes up and over the entire hillside from Allesandro Way to Glendale Blvd. Silver Lake resident and writer, Charles Flemming features Loma Vista and the Red Car Property in an Edendale primer in Los Angeles Magazine.

We're celebrating our neighborhood's public staircases in anticipation of this weekend's Big Parade II. The 2-day, 100+ public staircase hike starts at Angel's Flight and ends at the Hollywood Sign. For route, approximate timetables and more: www.bigparadela.com.
