Once again, Ivanhoe School gives the whole neighborhood the “gift” of amplified drums and “rock music” for 5 hours.[/sarcasm]
The traffic isn’t that bad, nor the streets lined with cars – except for the time they blocked half our driveway – what a nincompoop. And the signs hung up on the fences for the 2 weeks before it are fun and festive. I appreciate anything that celebrates Halloween. But are drums the best accompaniment to their annual Halloween Party? Sucks. Totally NOT festive, and a really swell way to ruin the Saturday afternoon of the whole community.
In case you are as annoyed as I am, their number is (323) 664-0051. Not that they answer it, nor is there any way to leave a message.
