TASTE OF DOWNTOWN BURBANK SERVED UP A FEAST SEPTEMBER 21
The third annual Taste of Downtown Burbank returned for a huge helping of great food & entertainment on Thursday, September 21. Thousands gathered on San Fernando Boulevard to taste the international cuisine of Downtown Burbank's restaurants and sampled beers & wines from Gordon Biersch Brewery and Market City Caffe. Everyone had an amazing time and over $37,000 was raised for the Burbank Community YMCA.

Downtown Burbank restaurants and eateries gave it their best this year. A big thank you goes out to every one of them for their amazing contribution.

The event was produced by Downtown Burbank Partnership, Inc. and the Burbank Community YMCA, in cooperation with The Burbank Collection and KOST-FM. www.tasteofdowntownburbank.com


 

DO YOU WI-FI?
Surfing the web in Downtown Burbank is as easy as 1-2-3. And best of all, it is free. All a customer needs is a laptop with a wireless card (most models built after 2002 have them already installed. Even without a built-in receiver, it is easy to buy and install a "wireless card" from any major computer store.) Downtown's Wi-Fi coverage area extends from the Holiday Inn to Burbank Boulevard, and from the Metrolink Station to Glenoaks. The hotspot offers many opportunities for users to access the Internet on laptops, notebooks, smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or hand-held game devices.

If you haven't tried using this latest step in computer technology, please check out the complete "how-to" on the Downtown Burbank website, www.downtown-burbank.org.
