Happy Fourth Of July

The USC band is playing all day today at Catalina island.There is a golf cart parade at 1 p.m. and a Catalina casino concert at 7:30 p.m. and then pre-and-post fireworks performances at the Wrigley stage.

  • It’s the Fourth of July and that means time to run this wonderful color photo of the fireworks show at the Coliseum in 1964, that even lit up Mudd Hall and the USC campus.

The Mudd Hall Bell Tower was used in the 1923 version of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

  1. A different time, and a different city. One that was much better in some ways than today, despite all of the technological advances that has been made since those photos were taken.

    Happy 4th Trojans! Baby back ribs on the grill later today here. Salt, jalapeno powder, garlic and onion powders, lime and olive oil marinade.
