LOS ANGELES: The president will be at USC tomorrow for a "Moving America Forward" rally, and after his August visit to LA almost shut down the entire city, it might be helpful to know as much as possible before you venture to the office in the morning. First and foremost, the Obama rally starts at 11 a.m. and is expected to draw, gulp, 30,000 people to the Exposition Park area.
Street closures:
Martin Luther King Boulevard closed between Figueroa Street and Vermont Avenue to vehicle traffic from 9:30 a.m. until 11:25 a.m. and to all traffic and pedestrians from 11:25 a.m. until 2:50 p.m.
