Success! It was GREAT! wrote Marissa Melling on Facebook. Well managed, we didn t wait very long for our tour and everyone was happy to answer questions. Fleet week was a huge success. Crews, businesses, community and city entities and leaders along with the port of LA hit a home run! Love our town! -James Dimon President, Central San Pedro Neighborhood Council Downtown shops were busy and the waterfront was packed.
