Is there a charge for the walking tour do you know?
Hey, I can’t believe you didn’t list the dog park’s grand opening or the Watermelon Festival, : ).
Crystal, from their website:
“Tours are listed topically….not in chronological order. For a chronological listing, please visit our Calendar. Unless otherwise stated, walking tours are $10 ($9 advance, $5 members). Those requiring reservations are $10. See our ad in Style Weekly for a $2 off any walking tour.”
I’m not sure if you just pay the guide or call them first to arrange payment. I keep clipping coupons in Style and meaning to do the Hollywood Cemetery tour…
Monday, August 11, 5:30 pm, PTA meeting at Bellevue elementary. We welcome all.
I just think this tour would be an awesome way to get to know the neighborhood better. And the Hollywood Cemetary one sounds awesome, too.
