Will most likely be @ 1835 E. 1st St. Los Angeles.. Eastside Luv, Mariachi Plaza Station.. Si, Señor! … and I will be bringing my momma…

This is monumental. It really is a big movement for the East side communities.. a very proud-full time.

Everyone MUST come out to celebrate… no excuse!

.. you’ll love it….

@ chuy90023

they have been going after the breed street vendors for a long time, prior to the gold line They are like the Davids in a David in Goliath struggle, but i dont see them winning the struggle anytime soon. God bless them for continuing there struggle and continuing to offer their ever delicious sopes and quesadillas.

Good post ERH.

And in several years when the Regional connector ( http://www.metro.net/projects_studies/connector/default.htm ) is built eastsiders will gain further mobility allowing them to take on train that connects tot he blue line or expo line.

Suit yourself, LAtoAnaheim. More beer for us. Nah, I’m joking. Obviously you’re right. But drinking is 90% effort. Don’t ever underestimate a hundred or so people with a singular goal of getting drunk.

BTW, I drove by the station at 1st and Boyle today, looked like they were still doing a lot of construction on the outdoor part. Will it be ready by Sunday? It really didn’t look like it. And it was drizzling, too. They looked like they were out there rushing.

LA Times mentions the Breed street vendors as a spot to visit off the Goldline:

I hope you all see the connection between the disappearance of the Breed Street food vendors the other day—after two decades, mind you!—and the opening of the Gold Line this coming Sunday.

You do realize it will be next to impossible to take the trains between stations due to the significant amount of riders expected that day? If you recall the Gold Line to Pasadena opening last, people had to wait hours for a train. I don’t see how you can do a pub crawl in any reasonable way without having to take buses or drive. It may be smarter to do it another day, because it won’t be likely.

You inspire me brotha. I’m going to try my best to be out there. I haven’t ridden a train in forever, but Sunday feels like a good time to get reacquainted.

Nice post by the way.

I would suggest El Paseo over La Golondrina at ovlera st, El Paseo is larger, thus can accommodate more people and El Paseo is know for their large margaritas, though pricing is relatively the same for both places.
