MFF0RD8 -- Sunset Blvd will be open. All of the music takes places inside the clubs.

So why didn't anyone who made any of the recent Westside rail corridor suggestions recommend one of the lines serve the Sunset Strip?

Helpful hint - but this is only if you have no problem walking for a bit or are going to the Rainbow or Viper. Park in Beverly Hills, across the street from Blowfish Sushi and that huge bank building is residential, non-time restricted parking if you're open to walking for 10 - 20 mins to get where you wanna be. I've even left my car there overnight some nights.

Thanks nicksm, had a little geography blah moment. Yes, Western edge, you are correct.

They also charge you depending on how nice you are and if you are a regular. After paying $10 at my fave spot near HOB I watched some total d-bags get quoted $20.

I discovered parking prices are negotiable the other night at the Fonda, particularly if the sign is not visible from the street. Talked him down $5 without even trying.

this is actually the western edge... unless you are in the palisades... "The classic eastern edge of the Sunset Strip, where the Roxy, Viper Room, Whiskey A Go Go, Key Club and Rainbow Room all reside, parking rates are much lower than the side of the strip where the House of Blues' area on a weekend night"

Nic Adler thinks $20 for parking is unacceptable? I think the price of a drink in his club is the real crime.
