Yup. I went one year many moons ago, and as my friends and I watched the parade, melting as it were...we yelled "Fix our streets!!!" to the LA city officials that were participating in the parade, as they passed by.

Because of all the pot holes.... rofl

An update:

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 10 a.m. at the Aratani Japan America Theatre, 244 S. San Pedro St.

I knew Frances was a prominent person in Little Tokyo, but when they hold your funeral in an 800+ capacity theater, which I'm guessing will be packed, that says it all.
