Hillcrest’s Most Popular Website with Oodles of Urban San Diego Information
“...We entrust in certain groups of individuals power over us in order to maintain a civil society. When that power is abused, the most sacred trust is violated. When the police behave like home invaders, who will protect us?”
— Busby fundraiser attendee Kimberley Beatty, mother of four and former DEA agent
Hop in the ’Hood — Sunday, July 5th
Celebrate the completion of this year’s HillQuest with
a free neighborhood block party (the Hop
in the ’Hood) this Sunday,
July 5th in
the 3700 block of Seventh
Avenue. The Flower
Power Parade will
kick
off at 12:15 followed by cake and ice cream for one and all. Mistress
of Ceremonies
Laura Jane leads the entertainment line-up:
10:30-11:10am - Kim Evans
11:25am-12:15pm - Danielle Lo Presti & the Masses
12:15pm- Women’s Drum Circle — Flower
Power Parade —
12:30-1:30pm - Rhythm & The Method
1:45-2:45pm - The Kings of Paradise
3:00-4:00pm - Sue Palmer’s Motel Swing
4:15-5:15pm - Sam Johnson Jazz Duo
Join the fun...bring a folding chair...one block south of Whole Foods Market. The parade will circle the street, then win awards. Entries may setup in the AT&T lot on Seventh Avenue just south of Robinson at any time. Organizers are encouraging everyone — kids and adults — to enter a bike, trike, wagon, etc. Note: at least half of each float’s decorations must consist of real flowers or plants.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Everyone’s welcome. As a bonus (as usual) there is no entry fee for any float. Each float will win a prize. All entries should be a tricycle, bicycle, wagon or a combination of wheeled vehicles with at least half of the decorations grown from plants. No motors, all floats must be powered by people (or animals) only. The top float receives an inscribed traveling trophy.
