Traffic jam- Obama jam
President Obama is coming to Los Angeles this Sunday today, October 7 for a fundraising concert.
Downtown Los Angeles is the place for “The 30 Days to Victory” fundraising concert. The Nokia Theater is the venue where Stevie Wonder will join Katy Perry, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi and Earth Wind and Fire to perform.
A $25,000-per-person dinner, co-hosted by Jefferey Katzenberg, will be held after the concert at Wolfgang Puck’s WP24.
Monday’s morning rush hour (s) on the West Side could be tough, though a number of people have the day off due to Columbus Day.
Most banks, government offices and the US Postal service will be closed.
