The 11th installment of the Pershing Square Ice Skating Rink continues through Monday, January 19, 2009. There is plenty of time remaining to skate and take advantage of the activities at the L.A. Kings Downtown on Ice rink in Pershing Square. With a low admission price of only $6 (+skate rental $2), it’s a fun thing to do without spending lots of money.

Pershing Square Downtown on Ice, which will stay open until January 19th, so make a date! It’s still worth the trip, though, I would HIGHLY recommend it, especially if you go at night when it’s all sparkly and magical and there aren’t as many people on the ice.

    Everything Roses – New Years Day – Los Angeles https://www.invisiblela.com/60/everything-roses-new-years-day-los-angeles/ https://www.invisiblela.com/60/everything-roses-new-years-day-los-angeles/#respond Sat, 27 Nov 2010 18:13:28 +0000 http://www.invisiblela.com/60/everything-roses-new-years-day-los-angeles/ Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Rose Parade is traditionally done every year on New Years Day. The Rose Parade started January 1, 1890. Following the parade is the Rose Bowl football game. The Rose Bowl football game started January 1, 1923. Many of the local television stations will carry the Rose Parade live and ]]> Eight Miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles is the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Rose Parade is traditionally done every year on New Years Day. The Rose Parade started January 1, 1890. Following the parade is the Rose Bowl football game. The Rose Bowl football game started January 1, 1923. Many of the local television stations will carry the Rose Parade live and uniterrupted of commercials. Than a rebroadcast roughly an hour later. The football game is later in the day at 2:30 PM(PST)

    Now, one may wonder if this is in Pasadena, what does this have to do with Los Angeles other than the close proximity. Well this year for the 2008 Rose Bowl the beloved Trojans of USC will be playing against University of Illinois. USC is located in downtown Los Angeles.

    So of course I will have to say something other than GO TROJANS!!!!!!!!!!! Right? Ok maybe not so loud. I will try and be a little unbiased and be fair. Ok maybe, NOT. GO TROJANS!!!!!!. Besides my niece goes to the esteem University of Southern California. And my son goes to high school directly across the street from USC and has about two classes on the campus as well. So it can very hard not to a wee bit biased. Sorry. Besides how many times has USC Trojans appeared in the Rose Bowl in the 105 year history. 31 times. Yup. A whopping 31 times including this 2008 year. Out of the 30 appearances. USC has won 22 of the 30 appearances. So Illinois is going to really want the ring pretty bad and work real hard to get it. The action starts at 2:30 PM(PST).

    But for those who are strictly Rose Parade fans you can either reserve bleachers at certain locations of the parade route. Or you can be one of thousands who camp out the night before for a spot in the front row(curb side seating of course). The parade starts around 8 am in the morning and roughly lasts two to two and half hours. The Rose Bowl theme this year is “Passport to the World’s Celebrations.” The length of the Rose Parade route is 5 1/2 miles.

    Many people are being encouraged to take the Metro system to the game and or parade. One can get there either by bus and or the light rail system(Yellow line from Union Station). The Yellow runs roughly every 8 – 12 minutes. The traffic is crazy so I would highly recommend parking at Union Station for $6 and paying the all day fare for $5. Which is much easier on the wallet and less of a headache of remembering where your car is and paying high priced parking fees. And for those who have missed the Rose Parade, you can view the floats after and on January 2, 2008. You can get a direct service to where the floats are wherehoused. For more information on Metro transportaion for the Rose Parade/Bowl festives.

He was also known as the “King of Pop”. He had a great contribution in music, dance, fashion and charity. He debuted in music as a member of “The Jackson 5” in mid 1960s and started his solo career in 1971. THRILLER is the Jackson’s most famous album. His other world wide famous albums are – Off the wall, Bad, Dangerous and History. In 1988, Jackson released his first autobiography.

    He was always surrounded with lot of controversies related to his face appearance, behavior and scandals. He was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993 and 2003. In May 1994, Jackson married singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley. The great artist took his last breath on June 25, 2009. Jackson died due to a sudden cardiac attack. Death of such a great musician and singer came as a shock to his family and fans.

    M.J. lost his breath on June 25 but he is still alive in the hearts of his fans. Even after the death of Jackson his songs are good enough to keep him alive. He is being remembered at every single place when we talk about music. Many honoring events held in the memory of Jackson. One such memorial was held in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009 and Jackson’s children shared some of their father’s memories with the people present there. Jennifer Hudson and many more stars paid homage to the king of pop in L.A’s Staple’s Center by means of his music. Jackson’s family got reunited to pay him tribute on July 11, 2009.M.J was also remembered at the BET awards held in the year 2009. In the award ceremony the entertainers were awarded as a tribute to Jackson. Beyonce, the singer present at the evening paid tribute to Jackson by referring him as her Teacher and hero. That’s not all where M.J. was remembered, he became the part of every magazine, newspaper, concert and everything. M.J. has not died, he just stopped breathing, but still his music breathes for him in his fans’ hearts.
