They took the Bob Bowl off the menu because too many dudes started to "stretch" in the dining room after eating it...

Like what?
Great Hiking in the Palisades or  , surfing, ride the bicycle from Playa del Rey to Malibu. Go to the Getty Museum - or go see Hollywiered and the Movie Studios? Maybe run in to Kim K. in Beverly Hills!
Venice Boardwalk is pretty cool on weekends too.
There is tons of stuff to do.
Go  to the firehouse and have a Bodybuilder breakfast or the Buffalo burger.lol
After food go right across to the "Rose café" for some great Espresso and pastry's .
 I used to have coffee with Mike Mentzer and Ali Mala there. Good times 8)
Nightlife is another ballgame all together

Live in a gated community, wear cork birkenstocks, and talk about saving the planet.  Make some of your best friends black.  Think globally, act locally.  Drive an 800hp SUV that complies with Tier 4 emissions standards.

I'm with Nails.

When I bring peeps into town I always insist we do the venice canals. It's a beautiful peaceful walk. Most tourists do not know they even exist to this day in I've never seen it crowded.

I def recconend pinks. Can't leave without a dog.

U also would not believe how amazing the la brea tarpit museum is. U can tour it in literally an hour.

If ur a car guy the Peterson auto museum is awesome.

If your snooty the ghetty is awesome.

There's watts tower.

And I love Taking guests to amoeba records.

If u hit graumans go on a Saturday of Friday night. The place jams those nights with entertainment.

If u happen to be there on the first Friday of each month hit venice around seven or 8 pm to hit the huge food truck congregation.

 3rd street promenade in Santa monica is really fun on Saturday nights.

Lastly. Hit any Yogurtland. The best frozen yogurt on the planet. A Cali thing which is recently beginning to spread nationwide.

N if that's not enuff tho choose from f u

Have a nice visit, see the sights then split. If you like high taxes, 50% non Americans, traffic, bad air, bad attitudes, then get on welfare and food stamps....stand on a corner with a "I will work for food or money" sign scrawled with a crayon on a scrap of cardboard, then stay a while. I stayed 65 years too long.

That it was and most likely still is.  I have not been there in quite some time.  Might have to make a pilgrimage of sorts in the near future but I don't know that I am ready for that right now.  I already feel old enough.

Be well, young lady.

Understood.  My very first time there I "insulted Ken Waller.  What a great guy he was!  He truly did have a fantastic sense of humor and made a skinny kid feel right at  home in the original Gold"'s.  I will never forget his kindness toward me that first visit to the gym.

I know.  I regret never meeting Steve Reeves when I had the chance as he lived not too far from me.

Have a good day/evening (I can never remember what time or day it is down under) young lady.  I must try and rest now.

When the time arrives for you to rest,  sleep well, sleep warm.

L.A. was epic. I did almost everything Nails and Slik suggested.
Highlights - going to downtown clubs/bars, I was so drunk I have no idea what they were called.
Did a private tour in a big SUV, that was cool.
Universal Studios, Hardrock Cafe was a good day out.
Caught the bus on wilshire blvd to santa monica - WTF!!! Why did no one tell me to avoid the buses! Ive never been amongst so many crazy people. I could write a book about that ride. Entertaining though.
Rented a house for the week on Manhattan Beach. Cool area, decent views.

u learn to time it. Also tourists get pissed at traffic cuz tourist r doing just that. Touring. Residents can pretty much stay in their little pockets of area n get everything they need in the way of supplies n food n entertainent but just as arnold said wen u want the food it's there, if we want to do anything else we know it's just a short drive n we have access to most things most Americans don't. There's always something going on here.

An attractive white woman 8/10 or better out here is worshipped out  here, out there she's just the norm. This sentence doesnt really make sense to me... are you trying to say that gorgeous women are less common in your podunk shithole, so she is worshipped? Doesnt sound appealing to me.

horrible trafficYes. This is accurate.

cold dirty beaches

Quote
The summer season is long, hot, and humid in Myrtle Beach. Average daytime highs are from 83 to 91 °F (28 to 33 °C) and average night-time lows are near 70 °F (21 °C).

So much for cooling off at the beach right? A disgusting sweaty beach with extreme humidity and funnel cake eating contests no doubt.

expensive

Los Angeles Mean family income: $83,965 Atlanta mean income for a family was $59,711

More expensive? Yes. Is it all relative? Yes.

You make more here, by a long shot.
