Once upon a time in Los Alamitos, Pine and Reagan Streets were town center thoroughfares. Now relegated to side streets, the City of Los Alamitos would like to return these boulevards to bustling pedestrian-friendly broad streets where shopping, entertaining and family gathering can once again thrive in a relaxed walkabout atmosphere, beginning on Pine Street with a three-day event for the next two weeks that reimagines the boulevard between Katella and Florista Avenues as a family destination for shopping, movie going and staged entertainment. It’s called the Parklet Series and Los Al TV producer John Underwood captured the first of four of the three-day weekend events featuring live bands on Thursday, a Friday movie night, and a Saturday morning farmer’s market right on the street. There are still two weekends in which to partake of any or all of the events. You can view the first weekend in the series now airing on Los Al TV Channel 3, online at losaltv.org, or on demand via the Our Los Al streaming app on Roku, Amazon Fire, or Apple TV app stores.
