Advice for Natasha: Visit Los Angeles

 

I'm reading about L.A. (in a long Boston Globe article about Whitey Bulger living in Santa Monica). Here are some of my thoughts on why you should visit L.A.:

• My visit in 1997 (with Arthur Lomax) in August and September:
  • Swimming in the Pacific Ocean
  • Visiting the Korean Bell in San Pedro (where Arthur Lomax and I spent our first night in California in 1997)
  • The view of the city from the observatory - seeing the smog over the city before you can even seen the ocean - it is a large city
• From Life:
  • 90210 (the TV show)
  • Tony Pierce!
  • Six Feet Under episodes
  • My long time friend Grant Earl
  • Randy Newman, I <3 L.A.
• My visit in 2003 (while driving around the United States) in November:
  • Venice's canals and shops and restaurants and beach
  • La Brea Tar Pits and the park
  • The small bugalow I stayed at just south of Beverly Blvd
  • Silver Lake neighborhood 
• My visit in 2009 (while attending the BNI International Conference) in November:
  • Returning to the Pacific Ocean to the same spot Arthur Lomax and I stayed and swam
  • Hiking in the hills above Rancho Santa Margarita

So, go visit L.A. and stay for a little while. See what it is all about! I hear the weather is nice almost all year.
