Livin' La Vida Loca in Los Angeles

Overview

Quote:

You MUST hang downtown. You MUST take in an LA Dodger game. You MUST enjoy Olvera Street during Cinco de Mayo (at any time of the year)! You MUST experience the sensation of being in a freeway parking lot during rush hour - there's none other like it anywhere.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

And if you are in LA, you will want to take advantage of surrounding areas like Hollywood, Long and Newport Beaches.

Even though those guys are gone from the team and the Dodgers, well, suck, there is still nothing like going to Dodger Stadium and hearing the crack of the bat, roar of the crowd, getting hit in the head by a peanut throwing vendor, smelling the freshly brewed beer, and I could go on. Regardless if you like the Dodgers, take in a game at Dodger s...Read More
