This isn't "technically" a Sunday, but it's still my City.
I will try to stick to Sunday's but when big things happen in my City,
this is the place I love to share it.
December 1st, 2010 was World Aids Day.
Long Beach, California turned Red.
The Mayor held a Rally, flipped a switch and our city turned Red.
The structers incluced: Queen Mary, Terrace Theatre Fountains, The Light House, The Convention Center, Hyatt Hotel, Gazebo/Bird Cage, LED Wall Tree at Renaissance, Shoreline Square, Promenade, Pike Water Fountain, Shoreline Drive and Pine Avenue, Thums Islands,
Sky Room, and Madison Restraunt.

Great post!
Here in Finland it was far too quiet day. I heard one radio program which said that almost 80% of people take tests too late.
Is it better to be afraid of the result or to get treatment as early as possible...an important question.
Have a good week ahead!
What a wonderful event. The red is beautiful.
