The melting pot that is America — and Los Angeles — was on display Tuesday at a Fourth of July celebration in downtown’s Grand Park. By late afternoon, hundreds of people milled across closed streets, snapping selfies with sno-cones or perusing food trucks selling grilled cheese and pizza. They came to Grand Park from Pasadena, Inglewood, West L.A., Reseda — many for the first time, looking for a new way to spend the holiday.
