Walk to The Greek

One of the extra treats of taking in a concert at The Greek Theatre in Griffith Park is the wide tree-lined approach along Vermont Avenue before it enters the park.   Many beautiful homes grace this route, and you might enhance your visit by parking below and walking up Vermont or Hillhurst and Vermont to The Greek.   Valet parking at the theatre is $40.   Other parking nearby is $10, but as they say, "be aware that it is stacked parking."   So, if you can park for $10 or less below Los Feliz Boulevard, you may want to try the walk, about 20 to 30 minutes from Los Feliz to The Greek.   As usual, a varied group of shows awaits the summer.   Wilco, Tom Jones, Robert Plant, The Black Eyed Peas, The White Stripes, James Brown.   James Brown?   Yes, in August.   If you are headed for that one be sure to check out the once again available "Beat The Devil" short film at BMWFilms.com.   The Godfather and Gary Oldman struggle at the Crossroads, and we get the benefit.
