Party afterward: Good, thorough, obsessive directions: From Points North: Go south on the 5. Get off on Fletcher. Turn right and cross Riverside. Turn left on glendale, and when you reach the crest of the hill, park your car. From Surface Roads South: Go north on glendale under the 2 freeway when you reach the crest of the hill, park your car. From Surface Roads West/North/East: You can take Silverlake to glendale and turn south so you can get on glendale. If you have a better/different way to get to glendale, take it. Go south on glendale, and when you reach the crest of the hill, park your car. Getting up the hill: You have to park on glendale and walk up Edendale. It is kind of steep. Take your time. Turn around and look at the beautiful view. At certain points you can even see the reservoir and the Hollywood sign. When you get to the top, that is Loma Vista (though there is no sign), turn left and walk to the end of the street. Ours is the green and blue house at the end of the street. 2338 Loma Vista Pl.
