Temperatures are forecast to reach 80 degrees this Memorial Day Weekend in Beverly Hills. The unofficial launch of the summer season would, in most years, include backyard pool parties, cookouts at the beach with friends and shopping excursions for Memorial Day sales. At this time last year, Jazz Fests, Dodger Games and Hollywood Bowl concerts offered seasonal diversions. Seniors at Beverly Hills High School were counting the days until their graduation ceremony. And local events honored our war dead, for whom Memorial Day was created.
This year, we’re once again united in battle, but the enemy is a virus.
