We made it to Friday Source Readers!

Whether your plans involve sports, arts and culture, delicious food, good music, Oscar glory, or letting loose for Carnival, Metro can get you there without the hassles of traffic, parking, or a trip to the pump. So have fun and Go Metro this weekend! Just remember the Red Line Hollywood/Highland Station will be closed this Sunday; trains will be bypassing the station due to Oscar event security. (We still love you little gold guy!)
