We will be live streaming the Lakers Victory Parade on CBS 2.com and KCAL 9.com from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday...but if you positively, absolutely, must be there live and in person to experience the thrill ...
You will want to know how to get around, what streets are closed, good vantage points (we swear, kcal9.com is a great idea!), bus routes, train schedules and how to get up close and personal with Kobe Bryant!
OK, with the Kobe Bryant thing...we can't help. Sorry. BUT, here is your guide to getting around and the latest info on transportation.
