The Southwest Museum is the most famous unknown place of its kind. Tucked into the hills about three miles north of downtown in a part of Los Angeles that most people zip by on the Pasadena freeway, it appears to doze peacefully in the sun. But the...
Pros: The sunshine, the green, the culture Cons: The heat, the smog, the high UV Index, the need for a car
I grew up in Anaheim California (Home of Disneyland). When my friends and I want to play, however, we don't head to the House of the Mouse. We jump in a car and tool on up to Los Angeles. There's a lot to do there. Let me tell you about some of our...
