Angelinos won't have much access to watch space shuttle Endeavour's journey across the city to its new home at the California Science Center.
Officials said on Thursday that they will limit public access when they move the space shuttle to Exposition Park from a hangar at Los Angeles International Airport, where it has been since arriving in the city...
...Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa had touted it as "the mother of all parades," and although big crowds are still expected, the celebration is being scaled back dramatically...
...Additionally, the LAPD announced this week it would close off most sidewalks along the way, making it difficult for the public to see the shuttle go by.
The sidewalks and streets will be closed about a mile ahead of and behind Endeavour as it crawls along at a speed of no more than 2 mph.
Residents will be able to watch from their private lawns, inside businesses and along side streets...
...Instead of trying to catch the shuttle on the streets, people are being encouraged to attend two shuttle "celebrations" that are taking place along the route.

The inflatable tent that houses the Space Shuttle Enterprise on the deck of the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City was torn by Sandy's high winds and appears to have damaged the rear stabilier of the spacecraft.
