| MAY DAY, MAY DAY: NATIONAL TRAIN DAY & MOTHER'S DAY |
|
|
 Saturday is National Train Day in Los Angeles (11am - 4pm) at the historic Union Station. Get there early if you want to board any of the train cars on display. This year they will not be ticketing, so you'll just get in the line to go inside the cars. No hastle: Metro Gold and Red Lines drop you off right inside the event. There will be plenty of displays, entertainment and kids activities and you'll be able to go into areas of Union Station that are not usually accessible to the public
Also on Saturday:
LA Microbrewery Festival near LAX
Armenian Food Fair & Fest in Montebello
Learn Primative Fire Making at Temescal Gateway Park
Sunday is Mother's Day - check the Sunday Calendar for things to do.
There's more of course. See all of this week's Editors Picks or view the full Eye Spy LA Calendar
TIP: you can find events and other things to do near you - you'll find neighborhood and regional calendar links at the bottom of all Eye Spy LA web pages.
Happy Weekend! --Andrea Kirk (editor@eyespyla.com)

Circular signs of Gulf and Coca Cola dot in the distance across the parking lot where bright-eyed, dull-colored cars, parked outside boxy double white windowpanes, wait for their owners.
Inside, warm knotty pine paneling and tropical-ish print bark cloth curtains compliment a lamp-lit, wood trimmed, buttery-tan Naugahyde upholstered booth where a party of four half poses for this picture.... |
