• Before 5 p.m., there is $3 parking behind the AVCO and the Majestic’s lot is only $4\. If you’re not wearing heels, the walk across Wilshire will do you good. • With the closing of more than three Westwood theaters, movies seem to be situated further apart. Schedule your film viewing days at the Landmark; the Avco & Majestic (south of Wilshire); and those in the heart of Westwood on separate days. • Valet parking at the restaurants runs about $4 with a stamp. If you stop into the bar and grab a quick soda (or a nice shot of Tommy Bahama rum) they’ll validate. It ends up being the same price or lower than most of the lots and it’s hassle free. • Wear flat, comfortable shoes; you’ll be walking a lot. • And if you have a question make sure you speak to someone in authority, not a volunteer.
